The text instead invites readers to see themselves as fellow thinkers capable of their own discoveries. Hooper’s mixed-media illustrations are nothing short of spectacular. . . . A masterful blend of biography, science, and philosophy that makes profound ideas feel wonderfully attainable.
—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
Excellent mixed-media illustrations depict the different materials and details, keeping readers engaged.
—School Library Journal
Slyly chatty and insightful, it’s a fittingly meandering biography that introduces the work it can take to sort through difficult concepts—and invites readers to join in.
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Hooper adds witty visual commentary. . . .
—Booklist
Day takes his considerable nonfiction talents into the picture book format here. . . to create a witty, engaging, and at times silly exploration of big ideas and deep thoughts. . . .Hooper’s art is an absolute wonder, seemingly blending mediums to convey the depth and breadth of what the mind can conjure.
—Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
An eccentric picture book befitting its subject. . . .
