Recently, Donna Strickland won the Nobel Prize in Physics. It turned out she was only the third woman to win the prize in 117 years. Who was the first? It was Marie Curie, who later also won a Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Let’s find out more about this amazing woman scientist with the picture book biography Marie Curie<\/em> by Demi.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Demi is both an illustrator and an author. Her multimedia and watercolor illustrations have a glowing quality that is so appropriate for the biography of the scientist who is known for having purified radium, an element which glows. The gold lettering of the title on the cover adds to the luminescent effect.<\/p>\n

The no-nonsense text reveals many details of Curie\u2019s life. The vocabulary level and subject matter pushes this to the older range of picture book readers (7-8 years.) The back matter includes a timeline and glossary.<\/p>\n

Marie Curie<\/em> is a wonderful resource for young people who enjoy reading about history and science. Share a copy today and see a child’s face light up.<\/p>\n

Be sure to pair the book with some fun hands-on science. See the activity suggestions and full review at Growing with Science blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This title was nominated for a 2018 Cybils award in the Elementary and Middle Grade Nonfiction category<\/a>.<\/p>\n
