A boy rides a bicycle down a dusty road. But in his mind he imagines himself traveling at a speed beyond imagining, on a beam of light.
In that brilliant mind will one day be born some of the most revolutionary ideas ever conceived. From a boy endlessly distracted by the wonder of the world, Albert Einstein grew into a man who would embody genius, and would shine a profound light on our understanding of our universe.
Jennifer Berne and Vladimir Radunsky invite the reader to travel along with Einstein, on a journey full of curiosity, laughter, and science that shows the powerful difference imagination can make in any life.
