Funny and totally true childhood biographies and full-color
illustrations tell tales from the challenging yet defining growing-up
years of Albert Einstein, Jane Goodall, Marie Curie, and 12 other
brilliant scientists.
Every great scientist started out as a kid. Before their experiments,
inventions, and discoveries that changed the world, the world's most
celebrated scientists had regular-kid problems just like you. Stephen
Hawking hated school, and preferred to spend his free time building
model airplanes, inventing board games, and even building his own
computer. Jane Goodall got in trouble for bringing worms and snails
into her house. And Neil deGrasse Tyson had to start a dog-walking
business to save up money to buy a telescope.
Kid Scientists tells the stories of a diverse and inclusive
group--also including Temple Grandin, Nikola Tesla, Ada Lovelace,
Benjamin Franklin, Isaac Newton, Rosalind Franklin, Sally Ride,
Rachel Carson, George Washington Carver, and Vera
Rubin--through kid-friendly texts and full-color cartoon illustrations
on nearly every page.
