Review There’s a simplicity and a depth to this narrative biography that children gravitate towards. It gives details about his life that I didn’t know as an adult either. It seems like the instances that are described paint a slightly quirky, but intriguing picture of this famous genius. He’s not like everyone else. But that isn’t a bad thing. There’s a lot more going on in his head than what people think, too, which is true for a lot of children. It’s a sweet, simple look at a man who thought about complicated things (Flock, 2017).
