About this title

Synopsis

7 Children Who Changed the World!

What were Gates, Jobs, Disney, Einstein, Ford, Tesla, and Edison like as children?

What kind of childhoods, education, and families did they have? What led them to their outstanding accomplishments? Was it Intelligence? Fortitude? Confidence? Passion? Luck? All of the above? Or was it something else?

Enjoy these seven fascinating, but little-known stories. Follow each of these children through that brief period of life where life-long personalities are formed. Discover what turned them into world-changing icons of modern history; for example, what turned little Albert into “EINSTEIN” or young Thomas into “EDISON.”

Individually, these stories give surprising glimpses into the young lives of these incredible people. Taken together, these stories present a revealing overview of the characters, curiosities and passions that lead to greatness.
