Etty Darwin and her famous father go for a walk to ponder life, science . . . and fairies! Inspired by the real-life daughter of Charles Darwin.

Etty loves make-believe.
Her dad loves science.
Etty believes in fairies.
Her dad would need to see some proof that they exist.
But they both love nature, conversation and each other.

A gorgeous rumination on belief and imagination featuring Henrietta (Etty) Darwin and her famous father, Charles. Etty went on to become a valued and keen editor of Charles's work and a thoughtful and intellectual being in her own right. This imagined conversation between Etty and Charles as they stroll around Charles's real-life "thinking track" explores their close relationship and shows that even science is nothing without an open mind and imagination.

Praise for Etty Darwin and the Four Pebble Problem

PRAISE FOR When Emily Was Small:

"It's an altogether mystical yet accessibly grounded story." --Starred Review, Kirkus Reviews

The poetic text, inspired by Emily's actual writing in The Book of Small, has an enchanting, spirited quality about it." --Booklist
