Part of the beloved Little People, BIG DREAMS series — beautifully illustrated biographical picture books that introduce young children to the lives of remarkable people who changed the world. This volume tells the story of Albert Einstein, the most famous scientist who ever lived.

Little Albert took four years to say his first word. He didn’t love school, but he loved physics and maths — and his mind never stopped working. He lay on rugs and daydreamed about space and time while the world went about its business around him. His little sister Maja was his only friend for a while; no-one else had enough patience to wait for him to talk. But inside that extraordinary brain, thoughts were always in perfect order. When Albert grew up, he developed the theory of relativity and gave the world its most famous formula: E=mc² — the idea that everything we can see and touch can be turned into energy. When the Nazis came to power in Germany, Albert was in danger. He moved to America and used his influence to help other Jewish scientists escape too.

Told in simple, engaging language with warm and expressive illustrations by Jean Claude, this is a captivating introduction to one of history’s greatest thinkers. A facts and photos section at the back — including a biographical timeline — brings Albert’s story into the real world.
