Real-life 7-year-old Sophia Spencer was bullied for loving bugs until hundreds of women scientists rallied around her. Now Sophie tells her inspiring story in this picture book that celebrates women in science, bugs of all kinds, and the importance of staying true to yourself.

Sophia Spencer has loved bugs ever since a butterfly landed on her shoulder--and wouldn't leave --at a butterfly conservancy when she was only two-and-a-half years old. In preschool and kindergarten, Sophia was thrilled to share what she knew about grasshoppers (her very favorite insects), as well as ants and fireflies... but by first grade, not everyone shared her enthusiasm. Some students bullied her, and Sophia stopped talking about bugs altogether. When Sophia's mother wrote to an entomological society looking for a bug scientist to be a pen pal for her daughter, she and Sophie were overwhelmed by the enthusiastic response--letters, photos, and videos came flooding in. Using the hashtag BugsR4Girls, scientists tweeted hundreds of times to tell Sophia to keep up her interest in bugs--and it worked Sophia has since appeared on Good Morning America, The Today Show, and NPR, and she continues to share her love of bugs with others.

Size: 2.02 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Have been using everyday for a while now and I really don’t notice much of a change. Smells great but is very greasy, as it is oil. I had high hopes for this item but it just isn’t working as I had hoped.

I have noticed my hair grows back slower than normal. So I guess it’s working for the month I have been using it.

Facial oil for hair removal
Size: 2.02 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Very nice oil. I use on my face to help slow down the extra chin hairs that keep popping up/out. It has helped greatly to get my facial hair in check. Very little plucking after using this oil for a few months.
