And if she's into beautiful images of all kinds of organisms, the "Kunstformen der Natur" (Art Forms of Nature) would be a nice book. Plus, it was made around the beginning of the 20th century by Ernst Haeckel ("an eminent German biologist, naturalist, philosopher, physician, professor and artist" according to Wikipedia)

Few ideas

• Cabinet of Natural Curiousity
  
  
• Natural Histories
  
  
• Art Forms in Nature
  

I like to emphasize the beauty of biology, and Haeckel's Art forms in Nature is a classic:

The documentary Proteus is also about his work:

In my opinion, the current science writers aren't quite as good as those from the 60s and 70s (ie: Gould, Loren Eiseley, Rachel Carson, etc.). My favorite book from this era is The Lives of a Cell by Lewis Thomas. You can read a sample here to see if you agree with me:
