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!

from my 8-year old submitted by robinfowler on July 31, 2020, 10:24am It's about a little girl who loved bugs, but everyone at school thought it wasn't ok to love bugs. So her mom found some bug scientists who told her it's ok to love bugs and now she's gone on TV to tell people it's ok to love bugs. I love bugs too but not mosquitos.
