What to expect
bestselling author Kate Messner explores the unexpected beginnings behind some of the most fascinating
discoveries in scientific history.
Before the world’s great scientists were scientists, they were, in fact, doing all the things kids do:
Taking things apart,
putting things together,
gazing up at the night sky,
drawing, imagining, building, and exploring.
Things that scientists do, too.
This book of unexpected beginnings powerfully shows that the great scientists of the future could be practically
anyone . . . including you. Written by Kate Messner, bestselling author of the acclaimed Over and Under nature
book series and more than fifty books for young readers, and beautifully illustrated by Julia Kuo, this is a
book to gift to any curious kid interested in STEM topics, fascinated by scientific discoveries, and inspired by
biographies of people whose work has had an impact on the world.
CALLING FUTURE SCIENTISTS: Where are today’s future scientists? As this book shows, they could be
practically anyone doing anything, including the kids reading this book!
CURRICULAR CONNECTION: Students discover all kinds of science in elementary school, from astronomy
to zoology. This fun-to-read educational book for kids introduces young learners to the scientists behind some
of the world’s most fascinating scientific discoveries.

children’s books, and her science-themed picture books have earned especially high acclaim. Her informative,
