Series
The Who Me? series features inspirational biographies of scientists who young
readers will be able to identify with as people like themselves. Written by the
scientists themselves and co-authors from Vanderbilt University, the books are
designed to help young readers understand that scientists are regular people like
themselves who are excited about learning and discovering new things and who
decided to work hard in school in order to create for themselves the opportunity to
become scientists. As they learn the stories of these scientists, readers will also learn
some basic science ideas, that are well-explained and easily understood, and be
introduced to the cutting-edge science these scientists are working on today.
