This picture book is actually a fairly detailed biography of
the life of Marie Curie. From her highly educated childhood, her family life,
her college education, her discoveries, and her legacy –readers get a very good
understanding of her life. Demi’s stylized illustrations throughout.
Usually these picture book biographies lack detail or focus
on one piece of a person’s life –but this one could easily be used for an upper
grade research project. The only fault I can find is that Demi’s illustrations
are kind of dull and would have trouble holding a student’s interest. They also
really enjoy seeing a photograph or two –which this book does not include. I
would prefer a photo-biography honestly –but this book does feature good
information presented in an understandable format.
