Beschreibung:
Rebecca Wojahn is an elementary school library media specialist in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. She is the author of several books for children, including Evan Early and the Follow That Food Chain series, and has written articles for LibrarySparks, Book Links, School Library Journal and the Children's Literature Network.
Pioneering North Woods doctor Kate Pelham Newcomb comes to life in this addition to the Badger Biographies series for young readers. Born in 1885, Kate Pelham was suppose to grow up to be a proper young lady in Boston, but despite her father's wishes she was determined to be a doctor. After medical school, her husband's health brought them to the clean air of northern Wisconsin and before long Kate knew every back road and cabin in the North Woods. She visited patients by snowmobile, by canoe, and by snowshoe and never sent a bill. Instead she was paid in firewood and vegtables. Young readers will warm to Kate's spirit of compassion and never-say-never attitude.
