About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their thoughtful, quiet child feels a little different from their peers or asks questions that seem to come from another planet. This lyrical biography follows Albert Einstein from his early days as a silent observer to his life as a world-changing thinker. It doesn't focus on dense scientific facts, but rather on the power of his curiosity and imagination, what he called his 'thought experiments'. The book beautifully validates children who learn and see the world differently, reassuring them that their unique perspective is a gift. It's an inspiring read for any young dreamer.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book addresses the theme of being an outsider and misunderstood, which is resolved hopefully by showing the value of Einstein's unique mind. There is a brief, secular mention of him having to flee Germany because of 'new leaders who were cruel and hateful' (alluding to the Nazis and anti-Semitism). This is handled very gently and without scary details, focusing on his move to America. The overall tone is one of inspiration and hope.
