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

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. Written by Kate Messner, bestselling author of the acclaimed Over and Under nature book series and more than fifty books for young readers, and beautifully illustrated by Julia Kuo, this is a book to gift to any curious kid interested in STEM topics, fascinated by scientific discoveries, and inspired by biographies of people whose work has had an impact on the world.
