Why we like it

What sets this book apart is how it balances accessibility with substance. The bite-sized profiles make it easy for children to dip in and out, whilst the hands-on experiments transform reading into doing. It's particularly valuable for showing girls that STEM fields have always included brilliant female minds—they just haven't always been given the recognition they deserved. The global scope is refreshing too, moving beyond familiar Western figures to celebrate innovators from Kenya, India, Nigeria and beyond.
