About these stories
The remarkable grown-ups of history, met as children. Einstein daydreaming about riding a beam of light. Frida Kahlo stuck in bed, discovering that painting can take her anywhere. Marie Curie noticing that certain rocks glow. Mozart hearing music in raindrops and footsteps. Harriet Tubman following the North Star for the first time. Rosa Parks, Jane Goodall, Leonardo da Vinci, Nikola Tesla, Stephen Hawking, Sacagawea, Jackie Robinson and George Washington Carver, each at the moment their story began.
These are true stories, told from a child's height: not the achievements, but the curiosity, stubbornness and kindness that came first. They are for three- to six-year-olds, and they end with a question worth asking a child who is just starting their own story.
