<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.
