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.


Readers ages 8 to 12 years old will learn all the storiesof 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.
