About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels like a misfit at school or is struggling to fit into a rigid environment. It is the perfect antidote for the bright student who daydreams, resists busywork, or feels that their unique way of thinking is a flaw rather than a strength. Kathleen Krull presents Albert Einstein not as a statue on a pedestal, but as a messy, humorous, and sometimes rebellious individual who revolutionized science by following his own curiosity. Through his life story, children will explore themes of resilience, the power of imagination, and the importance of staying true to oneself. It is written at an accessible level for elementary and middle schoolers, emphasizing that genius often looks like play. This biography helps parents validate their child's intellectual independence while providing a fascinating look at the history of physics through a deeply human lens.
