I am Marie Curie (Ordinary People Change the World)

My daughter loves these books. She loves learning and this book is perfect. She’s 8 years old and it’s easy for her to read and understand.

This is an outstanding book. My granddaughter loves science, so a well written and illustrated biography about Marie Curie was just perfect for her age. In fact, I think most 5 to 8 year olds and their parents will enjoy reading this book. All the “Ordinary People Change the World” biographies have been outstanding. This is one of our favorites from the series of books about famous people like Marie Curie. So far, the books about Marie Curie and Leonardo da Vinci have been our favorite biographies in this series.

I Am Marie Curie is a warm, inspiring, and accessible introduction to one of history’s most remarkable scientists. Brad Meltzer and Christopher Eliopoulos have a gift for distilling complex lives into stories that children can connect with, and this book is no exception. The book captures Marie Curie’s curiosity, determination, and resilience in the face of societal barriers. The illustrations are playful yet expressive, making even challenging topics—like scientific discovery and gender inequality; very approachable for young readers. The balance between humor and heartfelt moments keeps the story engaging without losing its educational value. While my boys may be too young to understand the concepts in this book, it is the perfect book at have added into my library for them to grow with.

I bought this book as a gift...after doing a Google search for "Best Books for age 7." I value being able to listen to some of the audio book (under the book image) before I bought. I like the text and presentation. The final pages show more persons included in this inspiring biography series. Reviews were VERY positive. I'll be ordering more from this series.

I have bought most of this series for my 6-year-old daughter and she loves them. It highlights important parts of each person's childhood through adulthood, pointing out obstacles they overcame and the amazing contributions they made to the world. They also sprinkle each book with humorous comments and really create a biography series that engages readers of all ages. New ones can't come out fast enough.

Great series, I like them because they have good messaging without being overly PC or political. I hate the indoctrinating activism in many of the children’s books I see these days and the ordinary people series is spot on! My daughters favorites are Marie Curie, Emilia Earhart and Abraham Lincoln. So if you are looking for more than one you can’t miss with any of those. I am sure we will have them all at some point!

I brought my grandson a Nerf target item, and this book. He opened both, right away. But he headed off for some space on his own, because he wanted to read this book right away. I think it helped that he recognized the illustration style from an earlier book in this series -- really well done, and a marvelous way to introduce biographies of heroic people to young readers like this.

Kids love the book, the illustration are super cute and the way is written is perfect for the kids to understand, my kid loves it, she even asked to dress up like Mary Curie for a school project, we read it several times and she never gets bored. A los ninos les encanta el libro, las ilustraciones son tan bonitas y detalladas, esta escrito de manera muy clara y sencilla que los ninos pueden comprender, con informacion importante y relevante sobre la vida del presonaje, a mi hija le encanta incluso me pidio vestirla de Mary Curie para un proyecto escolar, lo hemos leido varias veces y siempre es interesante.

Amé el cuento, se los regalé a mis niñas de 4 y 6 años para inspirarlas y hasta mi esposo y yo quedamos fascinados con esta belleza.

Liked immensely every aspect of the presentation. Having read myself it was gifted to an young adolescent.

My girls aged 5-10 love this series. Enjoyed seeing a scientist featured.
