The Next Scientist

How does a kid grow up to become a scientist? This enthralling nonfiction picture book from New York Times bestselling author Kate Messner explores the unexpected beginnings behind some of the most fascinating discoveries in scientific history.

Before the world's great scientists were scientists, they were, in fact, doing all the things kids do:

Taking things apart,

putting things together,

gazing up at the night sky,

drawing, imagining, building, and exploring.

Things that scientists do, too.

This book of unexpected beginnings powerfully shows that the great scientists of the future could be practically anyone... including you.
