Albert Einstein was a unique man who lived in a loving world that delighted him. This is a visually striking book that is unique in its illustrations with a sense of pervading warmth. We are given just enough information to create interest and end pages that make it possible to learn more if the reader is so inclined. The reader is also encouraged to develop his/her own questions.

Galileo narrates his own story of invention and discovery when old and blind while under house arrest for his heretical belief in a sun-centered universe. Gouache resist and oils brightly light his invaluable contributions to science, and a timeline provides a broader context for Galileo’s achievements.
