Queen of Physics
"A wonderfully written biography of an important woman scientist hardly known outside of her field of physics. Yes, the difficult science is thoroughly understandable in this picture book biography, but it is the heroism and ethical components of the main character, Madame Wu, whom we follow from birth into old age that centers this powerful little book. Not just for little girls, but for children of all ages. About achievement, honesty, hard work that follows a passion. Do not miss this one." --Jane Yolen, author of Owl Moon, How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight, and many other books "Huang utilizes spirited mixed-media images with a neutral palette to illuminate Shiung's journey." --Kirkus
