About this product
Product Information
The true story of eighteenth-century mathematician Sophie Germain, who solved the unsolvable to achieve her dream. When her parents took away her candles to keep their young daughter from studying math...nothing stopped Sophie. When a professor discovered that the homework sent to him under a male pen name came from a woman...nothing stopped Sophie. And when she tackled a math problem that male scholars said would be impossible to solve...still, nothing stopped Sophie. For six years Sophie Germain used her love of math and her undeniable determination to test equations that would predict patterns of vibrations. She eventually became the first woman to win a grand prize from France's prestigious Academy of Sciences for her formula, which laid the groundwork for much of modern architecture (and can be seen in the book's illustrations). Award-winning author Cheryl Bardoe's inspiring and poetic text is brought to life by acclaimed artist Barbara McClintock's intricate pen-and-ink, watercolor, and collage illustrations in this true story about a woman who let nothing stop her.

Reviews
"Graceful and lyrical...an inspiring portrait of the plucky, self-taught mathematician." -- The Horn Book, "Bardoe's text is concise and clear, right down to kid-tailored explanations of Sophie's mathematical pursuits. McClintock's line and watercolor scenes are an engaging meld of literal scene-setting and whimsical mathematical symbolism."-- BCCB, Praise for Gregor Mendel: The Friar Who Grew Peas : "As much a treat for the eye as it is for the curious mind." -- School Library Journal, * "The artwork...is truly a sight to behold.... A highly recommended choice." -- School Library Journal, starred review, "Bardoe and McClintock have...gone into new territory, tried new artistic techniques, and brought to life ideas that until now have never been displayed in this way in a biography for kids.... I love this book." -- Elizabeth Bird, A Fuse #8 Production, * "A compelling biography...a lesson in perseverance.... A highly recommended addition to the growing number of books about women who have made significant contributions to knowledge yet have received little or no recognition." -- School Library Connection, starred review, A Bank Street College Best Children's Book of 2018 A n Amelia Bloomer List Selection 2019 A National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) and Children's Book Council (CBC) Outstanding Science Trade Book for Students K-12 A National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) Best STEM Book A National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) Orbis Pictus Recommended Book CCBC Choices 2019 A Notable Social Studies Trade Books for Young People Selection 2019 2019 Mathical Award Winner, Grades K-2 A Booklinks Lasting Connections Pick An Evanston Public Library Best Book for Kids, "Refreshingly, Sophie Germain's story not only reminds us of the importance of perseverance, it recalls a time when discoveries were often made by hard-working amateurs--for the fun of it."-- The New York Times, * "A compelling biography...a lesson in perseverance.... A highly recommended addition to the growing number of books about women who have made significant contributions to knowledge." -- School Library Connection, starred review, "Bardoe writes with precision and expert pacing.... [And] what McClintock accomplishes here is also a thing of wonder.... It's a remarkable story in an elegantly packaged piece of nonfiction.... Truly inspiring."-- Julie Danielson, 7 Impossible Things, "McClintock's scenes of 18th-century France are infused with a golden glow; numbers loom along city streets and burst from Germain's quill pen. Bardoe concludes this warm biography by emphasizing how later mathematicians built upon Germain's work." -- Publishers Weekly
