On a Beam of Light: A Story of Albert Einstein
I really like the idea of a picture book biography of Albert Einstein. It is interesting to ponder Albert's life as a small child, and consider the characteristics that defined him as such a unique human being. Albert's insatiable ability to question, examine and ponder the unknown lead to dramatic scientific discoveries that illuminated our understanding of the universe. This book is an excellent gateway into a variety of other nontraditional classroom topics such as physics, creativity & curiosity.
