The Tree Lady by H. Joseph Hopkins

The full title of this book is The Tree Lady: The True Story of How One Tree-Loving Woman Changed a City Forever. The city is San Diego where Kate Sessions moved to in 1883.  While this is a picture book, it tells how Kate was a good student, loved science, did well in school, and excelled in many things that girls were not expected to enjoy making it an excellent book for older students.  This book would be especially interesting to those how live near or plan to visit Balboa Park in San Diego, California, since it explains how Kate caused the park to be created and populated with trees from around the world.
