  Title: The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate Author: Jacqueline Kelly Publication Info: Henry Holt & Co., 2009. 344 pages. Source: Library digital resources Publisher’s Blurb: Calpurnia Virginia Tate is eleven years old in 1899 when she wonders why the yellow grasshoppers in her Texas backyard are so much bigger than the green ones.
