I ordered both "The Girl Who Thought in Pictures" and "The Doctor with an Eye for Eyes" for my 3 and 5 year old children. The books arrived last week and became instant favorites, especially with my 5 year-old daughter. I have read them every night since. The biographies strike a difficult balance between being engaging and being factually accurate and appropriately complex. Each story is written in rhyme with and beautifully illustrated. Neither the stories nor the illustrations are simplistic, however. They are detailed and complex making them appropriate and appealing to a wide range of children. In addition, each story ends with a letter from the star of the biography, interesting details from the author's interviews, a timeline and a two-page prose biography. These extras really enhance the books and feed children's curiosity for more information. My daughter loves looking at the photographs, and hearing more about these women's incredible lives.
I appreciate the gap in children's literature these books fill. They are about incredible women who have had a massive impact in the sciences though they faced monumental hurdles. The stories are honest, appropriate, and not watered down. They have led to very meaningful conversations with my daughter about injustice in the world, as well as resilience and perseverance. I will be purchasing more for my school! Highly recommend.

About the author
Perfect for the little human in your life.
We love this Book. Since receiving it I had read it countless times to my little Dude. If you have a child on the spectrum it's relatable for them. Only complaint is on the package there was no Do not Bend stick.. so it got folded into the mailbox 😩
