Le monde des insectes est vaste, des scientifiques évaluent qu'il pourrait y en avoir dix quintillions sur Terre et que leur masse serait soixante-dix fois supérieure à celle de tous les êtres humains du monde. À travers ce carnet personnel, nous suivons une jeune Élise Gravel, qui rêve de devenir entomologiste. En faisant la synthèse des observations faites quand elle était enfant et des connaissances qu'elle a accumulées en se passionnant pour l'entomologie, la narratrice dresse un portrait des grandes caractéristiques communes aux insectes, puis nous présente, plus spécifiquement, une douzaine d'espèces: allant du phasme au bousier, en passant par les scarabées, le tardigrade et la tarentule. Le livre se termine avec quelques faits amusants et ouvre ensuite la porte aux découvertes à venir, avec des insectes entièrement imaginés par Élise Gravel. [SDM].

In 1921, Frederick Banting was a young doctor with an idea: could the mysterious secretions of the pancreas be used to treat diabetes? We now call this substance insulin, and its life-saving discovery was an impactful milestone in medical science. Banting and his assistant, Charles Best, worked together in a small lab to test the theory with street dogs. Banting formed a special bond with one of his test dogs and gave her a name: Marjorie. After Marjorie responded well to insulin treatments, the treatments went on to be used for humans with diabetes--and the results were deemed practically miraculous. A real-life scientific milestone told in an innovative graphic novel format, the book also thoughtfully discusses the use of animals for medical research, including back matter on the subject and further information about diabetes.

But her heart longed for more, and when she moved to the seaside, she became fascinated by the ocean's mysteries. She filled her pockets with seashells and specimens, and filled her notebooks with oservations about coral and crustaceans and all manner of marine life. The argonaut interested her most of all, but Jeanne's observations of this shy creature were confounded by its tendency to swim away when approached. Jeanne wanted a way to bring a piece of the ocean home with her, and that's she came to build the world's first aquarium--an invention that would pave the way for countless scientific discoveries in the years to come... Jess Keating (Shark Lady) and Michelle Mee Nutter (Allergic) bring Jeanne's story vividly to life with lively text and vibrant artwork that captures the curiosity and perseverance this pioneering woman in science brought to everything she did.
