The Question Kids (Paperback)

Paperback. Every light switch. Every engine. Every screen. They all started with one curious kid who refused to stop asking why.The Question Kids brings your child face to face with the real people behind history's greatest inventions, told the way a great story should be: with schoolyard struggles, loyal friends, stubborn failures, and one electric moment of discovery.Meet Thomas Edison, the boy kicked out of school who lit up the world anyway. Follow James Watt from a smoky kitchen kettle to the engine that built the industrial age. Watch Wilhelm Rontgen stumble into an invisible light that could see through skin and bone. Ride along with John Logie Baird, who built the first television out of a hatbox and pure stubbornness. Discover how Ada Lovelace, a mathematician a hundred years ahead of her time, dreamed up computer code before computers even existed. And meet Alexander Fleming, whose messy laboratory habits accidentally saved millions of lives.Each chapter follows the same true arc: a childhood, a hobby, a friendship, a problem worth solving, and a discovery that changed the world forever, all richly illustrated to bring each story to life.This isn't a textbook. It's proof, one true story at a time, that every great inventor started out exactly like your child: curious, a little different, and unwilling to accept "that's just how it is."Perfect for: curious kids ages 8 to 12, science-loving families, homeschool reading lists, and any child who never stops asking why.
