This biography beautifully tells the facinating story of Marie Curie's life. It not only gives the facts about her life and what this amazing woman accomplished, it allows the reader to feel what Marie felt through the use of her own quotes and actual pictures and artifacts from her life. The book is broken into sections about her life, so the reader could open the book to any page two page spread and a certain time period in her life. It tells of the lasting impact Marie Curie has had on the world and how she paved the way for women and more specifically, women scientists. Great book for an older elementary student studying Marie Curie.
