My 11yo son loves reading this series, we discovered it with the first two books Kid Presidents and Kid Athletes. While this book has a different author and illustrator, it follows the same formula of layout and writing. Shorter chapters and colorfully vibrant illustrations to keep the readers’ attention. The really interesting element about the Kid Innovators book is the innovators’ experiences with adversity, either because they were just so eccentric, their ethnicity, or their family’s financial status. The stories show the innovators struggling, failing, and persevering to be successful, all of which are great life lessons for our kids. From Jonas Salk who created the Polio vaccine to Elon Musk founder of Tesla and SpaceX to Florence Nightingale and her transformation of nursing and medicine, these are all amazing true stories that will entertain and energize a young reader.
