I'm a Neutrino
Did you know there are tiny particles around us called Neutrinos?
I’M A NEUTRINO by Dr. Eve M. Vavagiakis portrays an in-depth description of this remarkable fermion.
Trillions of Neutrinos fly through us, but we don’t see or feel them because they have no electromagnetic charges and the fun part is that they change flavors from elect neutrinos, muon neutrinos, and tau neutrinos. How cool is that?
Coupled with vibrant intergalactic illustrations by Ilze Lemesis, this innovative book will intrigue little scientists and encourage them to learn more about these particles. Publisher: MIT Kids Press. AGE 4-8.

THE BOY WHO DREAMED OF INFINITY
I first learned about world-renowned Mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan when I saw the movie “The Man Who Knew Infinity” starring Dev Patel and loved every minute. (Check it out)
Amy Alznauer’s THE BOY WHO DREAMED OF INFINITY features his life as a child growing up in South India. Born in 1887, as a child he never talked much, but he had a passion for numbers which often got him in trouble. He wanted to understand how many numbers made a single number by understanding how they work.
Deemed unteachable by several teachers, Ramanujan left school and studied math on his own, using college math books. He studied math every chance he got and discovered intricate formulas and patterns. Will an endless list of tiny numbers add up to one or infinity?
Soon Ramanujan’s ideas on infinity were admired all over the world. He was a genius at Mathematics, and like most child geniuses, often misunderstood.
With exquisite and vibrant illustrations by Daniel Miyares, this book is perfect for young aspiring Mathematicians. It’s very inspirational and encourages children to embrace their differences and to never be afraid to explore their curiosity.
