A delightful and distinctive picture book about Dr. Virginia Apgar, who invented the eponymous test for evaluating newborn health thats used worldwide every day.The Apgar Score is known the world over: a test given to babies to determine their health moments after they are born. Less wellknown is the story of the brilliant, pioneering woman who invented it.Born at the turn of the twentieth century, Virginia Ginny Apgar soared above what girls were expected to door not do. She wasnt quiet, she wore all sorts of outfits, she played the sports she wanted toand she pursued the career she chose, graduating near the top of her class at Columbia University and becoming only the second boardcertified female anesthesiologist in the United States. The simple fivestep test she createdscribbled on the back of a piece of paper in answer to a trainees questionbecame the standard and continues to impact countless newborn babies lives today.Ginny adored science, hated cooking, drove fast, made her own violins, earned a pilots license, and traveled the world. Here, Carrie Pearsons jaunty storytelling and Nancy Carpenters playful illustrations capture the energy and independence of a woman who didnt slow down for anythingand changed newborn care forever.
