Moth and Wasp, Soil and Ocean tells its story through the memories of a farm boy who, inspired by Pu Zhelong, became a scientist himself.
SIGRID SCHMALZER, a professor of history at the University of Massachusetts (Amherst, MA), has lived in China, holds a doctorate in modern Chinese history and science studies, and is the author of Red Revolution, Green Revolution: Scientific Farming in Socialist China (2016) and the award-winning The People’s Peking Man: Popular Science and Human Identity in Twentieth-Century China (2008). New
mom MELANIE LINDEN CHAN, of Rhode Island, works in a variety of media—including
watercolor, acrylic, and pen and ink—to create books for children that open
their minds to other cultures and ways of life. Moth and Wasp, Soil and Ocean is among her first book-length
projects.
