“Ever been called weird? Or different? That’s what they thought I was. On the day I was born, my mom was actually scared since she’d never seen a baby with such a giant head.” A short, graphic biography of Albert Einstein combines a fictionalized first-person narrative and tongue-in-cheek humor with plenty of information about its subject. One of the playful conceits is Einstein’s appearance — he’s shown with his full bushy mustache and eyebrows, and big head of hair, from the time he is a baby. (A running joke: “My hair is awesome!”) But he’s also portrayed as a deep thinker, one who was often misunderstood but persisted in pursuing ideas even when he was criticized. “I will never stop being curious. And I hope you won’t either. The more questions you ask, the more answers you’ll find. And the more beauty you’ll uncover in the universe.” Speech bubble dialogue is used in scenes illustrating events in Einstein’s life. A handful of photographs and a timeline conclude this unusual and refreshing approach to biography for young readers. (Ages 7–10)
