The first woman to win a Nobel Prize, physicist and chemist Marie Curie is the 19th hero in the New York Times bestselling picture book biography series about heroes. This friendly, fun biography series focuses on the traits that made our heroes great--the traits that kids can aspire to in order to live heroically themselves. Each book tells the story of one of America's icons in a lively, conversational way that works well for the youngest nonfiction readers and that always includes the hero's childhood influences. At the back are an excellent timeline and photos. Being a woman scientist in the 19th century meant Marie Curie faced plenty of obstacles, but she never let them dull her love of science and passion for learning. This friendly, fun biography series inspired the PBS Kids TV show Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum . One great role model at a time, these books encourage kids to dream big. Included in each book are: • A timeline of key events in the hero’s history • Photos that bring the story more fully to life • Comic-book-style illustrations that are irresistibly adorable • Childhood moments that influenced the hero • Facts that make great conversation-starters • A virtue this person embodies: Marie Curie's perseverance was critical to making her discoveries known You’ll want to collect each book in this dynamic, informative series! Review: Great for kids to learn - My daughter loves these books. She loves learning and this book is perfect. She’s 8 years old and it’s easy for her to read and understand. Review: A must buy for a budding scientist! - This is an outstanding book. My granddaughter loves science, so a well written and illustrated biography about Marie Curie was just perfect for her age. In fact, I think most 5 to 8 year olds and their parents will enjoy reading this book. All the “Ordinary People Change the World” biographies have been outstanding. This is one of our favorites from the series of books about famous people like Marie Curie. So far, the books about Marie Curie and Leonardo da Vinci have been our favorite biographies in this series.

Best biography series for kids
I have bought most of this series for my 6-year-old daughter and she loves them. It highlights important parts of each person's childhood through adulthood, pointing out obstacles they overcame and the amazing contributions they made to the world. They also sprinkle each book with humorous comments and really create a biography series that engages readers of all ages. New ones can't come out fast enough.

Excellent, inspiring book for young readers!
I bought this book as a gift...after doing a Google search for "Best Books for age 7." I value being able to listen to some of the audio book (under the book image) before I bought. I like the text and presentation. The final pages show more persons included in this inspiring biography series. Reviews were VERY positive. I'll be ordering more from this series.

Great for kids
Kids love the book, the illustration are super cute and the way is written is perfect for the kids to understand, my kid loves it, she even asked to dress up like Mary Curie for a school project, we read it several times and she never gets bored. A los ninos les encanta el libro, las ilustraciones son tan bonitas y detalladas, esta escrito de manera muy clara y sencilla que los ninos pueden comprender, con informacion importante y relevante sobre la vida del presonaje, a mi hija le encanta incluso me pidio vestirla de Mary Curie para un proyecto escolar, lo hemos leido varias veces y siempre es interesante.

Eight-Year-Old Preferred This Book over Other Gifts
I brought my grandson a Nerf target item, and this book. He opened both, right away. But he headed off for some space on his own, because he wanted to read this book right away. I think it helped that he recognized the illustration style from an earlier book in this series -- really well done, and a marvelous way to introduce biographies of heroic people to young readers like this.

Book that encourages girls that they can do/be anything.
I bought this book for my 6 year old grand daughter. She wants to be a Veterinarian and a scientists when she grows up. This book will be perfect! First one I’ve bought of the series, will buy more! Encourages girls.

Interesting & Fun Bios for Kids
The books in the collection are wonderful. The characters have cartoon bubbles but historical story is in another font. The artwork is fun and helps with keeping you interested in reading the story. We have told our school and public library all about them. My daughter is thrilled about the new PBS show too! Probably about age 7-9 for “self-reading”. Certainly younger for the bios/stories...
