Bonnie Christensen
Acclaimed author-illustrator Bonnie Christensen adopts the voice of Galileo and lets him tell his own tale in this outstanding picture book biography. The first person narration gives this book a friendly, personal feel that makes Galileo's remarkable achievements and ideas completely accessible to young readers. And Christensen's artwork glows with the light of the stars he studied.,Galileo's contributions were so numerousâ€”the telescope! the microscope!â€”and his ideas so world-changingâ€”the sun-centric solar system!â€”that Albert Einstein called him "the father of modern science." But in his own time he was branded a heretic and imprisoned in his home. He was a man who insisted on his right to pursue the truth, no matter what the costâ€”making his life as interesting and instructive as his ideas.
