This book is filled with archival photographs of Marie and her family and pictures of items (such as the cover of her doctoral dissertation), places and people being talked about in the book, which helps bring them to life. Frequent side boxes explain hard-to-understand words and concepts. Many quotes by Marie Curie bring her thoughts and inner struggles to today’s reader. A bibliography at the end shows that the author researched her subject well, and her background is in science. Children can see the applications of Marie Curie’s work in today’s world, such as treatment for cancer. This biography seeks to show children the inspirational life of a woman who succeeded to reach her goals despite all odds, and especially that of being a woman scientist at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries.
This biography gives a good idea of Marie’s life as a woman and as a scientist, but I think the chapters that give scientific information might be too difficult for an audience of elementary school students. Their intent is to show where Marie was coming from in her research by explaining what preceding discoveries had been made, and also what concurrent discoveries about the nature of the atom were being made, but I think they will be better appreciated by higher grades (at least grades 5 and up). However, the parts on Marie’s life are fine starting with grades 3. I did notice a couple of typographical errors, which I was surprised to find in a DK Publishing book since they are usually known for their quality. ( )
