# Kid Scientists: True Tales of Childhood from Science Superstars - Hardcover

by **David Stabler** (Author), **Anoosha Syed** (Illustrator)

**Funny and totally true childhood biographies and full-color illustrations tell tales from the challenging yet defining growing-up years of Albert Einstein, Jane Goodall, Marie Curie, and 12 other brilliant scientists.**

Every great scientist started out as a kid. Before their experiments, inventions, and discoveries that changed the world, the world's most celebrated scientists had regular-kid problems just like you. **Stephen Hawking** hated school, and preferred to spend his free time building model airplanes, inventing board games, and even building his own computer. **Jane Goodall** got in trouble for bringing worms and snails into her house. And **Neil deGrasse Tyson** had to start a dog-walking business to save up money to buy a telescope.

_Kid Scientists_ tells the stories of a diverse and inclusive group--also including **Temple Grandin, Nikola Tesla**, **Ada Lovelace, Benjamin Franklin**, **Isaac Newton, Rosalind Franklin, Sally Ride**, **Rachel Carson**, **George Washington Carver**, and **Vera Rubin**\--through kid-friendly texts and full-color cartoon illustrations on nearly every page.
