Disclosure: I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.I always love learning about women who we may not have heard of but are famous in their own right. I really love learning about female mathematicians and scientists who have made a difference in our world. And although we always focus on women in March for Women's History Month I also feel it is important that we learn about them all year long. After all women do make up at least 50% of the wo...| Crafty Moms Share

Sofia challenges participants to explore ancient entities, such as timeless traditions, landscapes, and historic structures. She initially considered showcasing archaeological sites like Pompeii but discovered that the Earth's ancient oceans, originating around 3.8 billion years ago, epitomize age. Geological insights reveal that Finland’s bedrock is among Europe's oldest, while Australian hills date back 4.4 billion years.
