What Kind of Book is On a Beam of Light
Reviews
This book is a great introduction to both Albert Einstein and his work, and I like that. It also sweetly delivers important messages--that curiosity is powerful, that thinking about the unknown is exciting, and that you don't need to fit in to accomplish great things--and I love that. The illustrative style is simple, distinctive, and fun, and the text is concise yet powerful. I am always happy for a good non-fiction or STEM book to add to our collection, and this is a great one.
