Robert F. Sibert Medal winner Bugs, of all kinds, were considered to be "born of mud" and to be "beasts of the devil." Why would anyone, let alone a girl, want to study and observe them? One of the first naturalists to observe live insects directly, Maria Sibylla Merian was also one of the first to document the metamorphosis of the butterfly. In this visual nonfiction biography, richly illustrated throughout with full-color original paintings by Merian herself, the Newbery Honor-winning author Joyce Sidman paints her own picture of one of the first female entomologists and a woman who flouted convention in the pursuit of knowledge and her passion for insects.

Sturdy and reliable travel jewelry holder — survived my trip to Punta Cana!
Color: Black, Size: Medium - No Mirror
I took the Procase Travel Jewelry Holder with me to Punta Cana, and it held up really well throughout the trip. It kept all my jewelry organized, tangle-free, and safe — even during all the packing and unpacking.
✅ What I liked:
Compact and easy to pack
Durable construction that protected my jewelry
Plenty of compartments to keep everything separated
Stylish and practical design
If you travel frequently and want a dependable jewelry case, this one is a solid choice!

Holds a lot and is a great buy.
Color: Black, Size: Medium - No Mirror
Arrived quickly in a nice box and plastic wrap. Holds a lot, great for travel or every day. Got the black colored one, but they have lots of colors so can easily put gold in one, silver in another and mixed in yet another. Highly recommend!

Safe for sensitive ears
Color: Green, Color: Green
I purchased these earrings to wear on St. Patrick’s Day at work because they’re festive while still looking somewhat professional. I got so many compliments on them! I personally don’t think they look THAT similar to the Van Cleef version but multiple people did ask me if they were authentic.
The best thing about these earrings is that they didn’t irritate my sensitive ears or feel heavy throughout the day. I plan on wearing them more often now!
