Julia Ellen Rogers

Julia Ellen Rogers (1866–1958) was an American natural history writer and teacher. She was born in 1866 in Monbern, Iowa, and died in 1958 in Long Beach, California. She earned a master's degree in botany from Cornell University. She wrote extensively for children and general readers on natural history, with representative works including Trees Every Child Should Know, Earth and Sky Every Child Should Know, and Trees Worth Knowing. Her books take familiar natural subjects—trees, the earth, and the sky—as their themes, use accessible language, and encourage readers to observe nature through the seasons; they were well received and reprinted many times. Beyond these details of her life and works, public information about her specific experiences and writing career is limited.
