<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"A biography of Marie Curie, the physicist and chemist who was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize."--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>The first woman to win a Nobel Prize, physicist and chemist Marie Curie is the 19th hero in the <i>New York Times </i>bestselling picture book biography series about heroes.</b> <p/>This friendly, fun biography series focuses on the traits that made our heroes great--the traits that kids can aspire to in order to live heroically themselves. Each book tells the story of one of America's icons in a lively, conversational way that works well for the youngest nonfiction readers and that always includes the hero's childhood influences. At the back are an excellent timeline and photos. Being a woman scientist in the 19th century meant Marie Curie faced plenty of obstacles, but she never let them dull her love of science and passion for learning.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Brad Meltzer is the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Heroes for My Son, Heroes for My Daughter, The Lincoln Conspiracy, </i>and a number of suspense novels like <i>The Lightning Rod.</i> He also helped find the missing 9/11 flag with his History Channel television show Brad Meltzer's Lost History. He lives in Florida with his wife and their three children. (And did you know that a picture of Brad is hidden in every book in this series?) <p/>Christopher Eliopoulos began his illustration career at Marvel Comics, and has worked on thousands of comics, including his own <i>Cow Boy</i> and <i>Franklin Richards: Son of a Genius.</i> He is the author and illustrator of the picture books <i>The Yawns Are Coming! </i>and <i>The Giggles Are Coming!</i> and the graphic novels <i>Cosmic Commandos</i> and <i>Monster Mayhem.</i> He lives in New Jersey with his wife and their college-graduate twin sons (who also make an appearance in each Ordinary People Change the World book).
