Summary

Albert Einstein Genius of Light Albert Einstein was one of the most important scientists in history, because he discovered how the cosmos really works. He spent the whole day making calculations with light. Sometimes he did not comb his hair and did not wear socks, but he revolutionized the world of physics with his theory of relativity. Thanks to him, for instance, we know that the smallest amount of mass can turn into an incredible amount of energy. Both the register of the narrative and the style of the images are appropriate for schoolchildren between 8 and 11 years old. The text and the images make sure to deal with pedagogical threads that traverse the characters’ scope of activity, both for family readings at home and at school, supporting the educational program. Additionally, throughout the narrative the reader will find all the information necessary to appropriately situate the figure in a socio-historical context.
