Review by Jessica Rodriguez: I found this story to be a great biography on Albert Einstein's life, and the many discoveries he found out through questioning, wondering, thinking, and imagining beyond the unknown. This biography is readable for young children to understand and follow the many great discoveries that took place throughout his years. I love the way the author breaks down the huge subject to a children's level to understand his accomplishments. Also, the illustrations are simple and keep the reader engaged by being hand-drawn and creative.
