One day over 100 years ago, as the stars swirled in the sky, as the earth circled the sun, a baby was born. His parents named him Albert. Albert turned one year old and didn’t say a word.He turned two and didn’t say a word. Albert turned three and hardly said a word at all, he just looked around with his big curious eyes. Looked and wondered. His parents were worried. “Little albert was so different, was there something wrong?” But he was their baby so they loved him no matter what.

One day, when albert was sick in bed, his father brought him a compass. A small round case with a magnetic needle inside. No matter which way albert pointed the compass the needle always pointed north, as if it was held by an invisible hand. Albert was so amazed. Suddenly he knew that there was mysteries in the world. He wanted more than anything, to understand those mysteries.

Albert started asking questions. Questions at home and at school. So many that his teachers told him that he was disrupting the class. They said that he would never amount to anything unless he learned to behave like the rest of the students. But albert didn’t want to be like the other students. He wanted to find out the hidden mysteries of the world.

One day, as albert was zipping through the countryside on his bike, he looked up at the beams of sunlight speeding from the sun to the earth. He wondered, what it would be like to ride those beams? And in his mind right then and there albert was no longer on his bike, no longer on the country road. He was racing through space on a beam of light. It was the biggest, most exciting thought albert had ever had. And it filled his mind with questions.

A boy rides a bicycle down a dusty road. But in his mind, he envisions
himself traveling at a speed beyond imagining, on a beam of light. This
brilliant mind will one day offer up some of the most revolutionary ideas ever conceived. From a boy endlessly fascinated by the wonders around him, Albert Einstein ultimately grows into a man of genius recognized the world over for profoundly illuminating our understanding of the universe. Jennifer Berne and Vladimir Radunsky invite the reader to travel along with Einstein on a journey full of curiosity, laughter, and scientific discovery. Parents and children alike will appreciate this moving story of the powerful difference imagination can make in any life.
