Geniuses Who Changed How We Live is a young readers collection of short biographies of luminaries in STEM who advanced our understanding of paleontology, exploration, nutrition, and medicine. Due out 7th April 2026 from Sourcebooks, it's 128 pages and will be available in hardcover and ebook formats.
These accessible short bios, written in age-appropriate text and accompanied by their biographical details, include birth and death dates, their field of expertise and innovation, along with relevant highlights of their research and how it was received at the time and later. Authors James Buckley Jr and Ellen Labrecque do a great job of finding subjects from well known and less familiar historical figures.
The illustrations by Steffi Walthall are simple but full of color and energy and perfectly recognizable as the people they're meant to represent.
Four and a half stars. It would be an excellent choice for public or school library acquisition, home use, or gifting to a curious young friend.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
