A great introduction for talking about historical figures

The purpose of this nonfiction book is to tell the story of Albert Einstien. The book shows the start of his love for numbers and how that shaped his amazing life.

I love the part of the story that capitalized in Einstein‘s father giving him a compass,
opening the door to wonder more about this wold and how it works.

This is a powerful book about Albert Einstein. It shows drive, creation, curiosity and imagination. The illustrations are lovely and unique, including the cover. There is also a good science aspect to reading the book.

“question that you someday may answer...by wondering, thinking, and imagining.”

“But he was their baby, so they loved him... no matter what.“

I would use this book in my classroom because it could spark interest in children and allow them the opportunity to find out what interest them about the universe. This book is a physical representation of what discovering and exploration is all about.

On a Beam of Light written by Jennifer Berne. This book describes Albert Einstein's imagination and hunger for exploration as a child and further shows him as an adult who is a genius, discovering lots of wonders around the universe. This book could show children the possibilities for their own lives for when they get older, and show them that if they dream it, they can do it.

#LetsTravelAugust Day 15: Einstein loved to wonder about the nature of things. I like how this book captured the two pivotal moments in his life: when his father gave him a compass that allowed him to wonder even more about the universe, and that moment when he was “zipping through the countryside on his bicycle” around Europe‘s #lakeside and stared at the beams of sunlight reaching the earth.
