Lasky, Kathryn Newton’s Rainbow: The Revolutionary
Discoveries of a Young Scientist, pictures by Kevin Hawkes. PICTURE BOOK.
Farrar Straus Giroux (Macmillan), 2017.
$18.
Lasky takes a long look at the early life of Isaac Newton,
including the forces that formed his life experience and the discoveries and
theories he formed that to this day inform our world.
This looks like a picture book, but each page is text dense,
so this book occupies a strange middle space between picture book and chapter
book – not an early reader. This makes
it difficult to pinpoint a use. Perhaps
as a research help for a biography project.
It could even be a good example of long (2700 words is long for a
student) biography. It is however, not a simple read that you could use as an
opener or class discussion.
