Anita Jepson-Gilbert became aware of the Nazca lines in Peru when her husband shared an article with her. It became her passion to research and write about Maria Reiche's life work on the origins and significance of the Nazca lines in Peru. When they were discovered by a pilot flying overhead, no one knew what or why they were there. Answering those questions became Marie Reiche's quest and Anita Jepson-Gilbert has brought that story forward for children.
