If your house is anything like ours, you probably have books–personally owned or library-borrowed–filling up your kid(s)’ room. We have STEM-related and non STEM-related books alike. Many of our STEM books focus on various concepts, but some instead are science biographies my wife and I use to introduce our daughter to various scientists and their achievements.<\/p>\n

This list focuses on favorably reviewed science biographies for kids published in the last 5 years. Or, biographies already announced and scheduled to be published in 2017.<\/p>\n

A few\u00a0may be more inventors or mathematicians than scientists, but their achievements are no less important.\u00a0And their biographies have just as much ability to spark an interest for science in kids.<\/p>\n
