Review

This book gives a wonderful overview of the life of Albert Einstein by strongly emphasizing his curiosity and imagination. Scientific concepts are simplified for young readers, and the author aims to inspire young minds by encouraging wondering and questioning. The author’s note is a wonderful resource, including additional information about Einstein’s life and work as well as suggestions for further reading. The raw illustrations are a beautiful example of whimsical creativity. The typeface changes in size and color throughout the book to emphasize big ideas and hold the reader’s attention. Recommended. Taylor Wilcox, Centennial Library Intern, Cedarville University
