About the Book

How does a kid grow up to become a scientist? This enthralling nonfiction picture book from New York Times bestselling author Kate Messner explores the unexpected beginnings behind some of the most fascinating discoveries in scientific history. Before the world’s great scientists were scientists, they were, in fact, doing all the things kids do:   Taking things apart, putting things together, gazing up at the night sky, drawing, imagining, building, and exploring.   Things that scientists do, too.   This book of unexpected beginnings powerfully shows that the great scientists of the future could be practically anyone . . . including you. Written by Kate Messner, bestselling author of the acclaimed Over and Under nature book series and more than fifty books for young readers, and beautifully illustrated by Julia Kuo, this is a book to gift to any curious kid interested in STEM topics, fascinated by scientific discoveries, and inspired by biographies of people whose work has had an impact on the world.

Review :
"The inspirational tenor will assure young people that they, too, can follow suit, while the variety of subjects--sets this one apart from similar fare. A stirring invitation to join the great enterprise." -- Kirkus Reviews "[An] attractive, informative, and ambitious collective biography... Thoughtful curation results in representation of a wide range of identities, fields of study, and challenges throughout the history of modern science." -- The Horn Book Magazine "Fascinating and captivating... An effective and generous book that encourages exploration, maker spaces, and tinkering. The inclusion of names that are not often covered is a breath of fresh air." -- School Library Journal, starred review "[An] inspirational picture book ...Including figures iconic and lesser-known, this pep-talk-like work suggests that STEM careers might have seeds in childhood passions." -- Publishers Weekly
