The first book, Marie Curie and the Power of Persistence, uses a novel storytelling approach to bring this historical figure to life for readers, both young and old. Written and illustrated as a dynamic superhero story, this book introduces children to Marie Curie as an important scientist whose greatest achievement was not the discovery of radium and polonium, nor having earned two Nobel Prizes, but rather for her extraordinary power – the power of persistence. Booklist says, “A fun, engaging take for kids who may not realize they’ve got the power to be science lovers.” Kirkus — “This is a fact-filled, admiring examination!”   This looks so FUN, Karla, how did you come up with idea to give scientists “superpowers”?
