If you've ever felt different, if you've ever been low, if you don't quite fit in, there's a name you should know...

Meet Dr. Temple Grandin - one of the world's quirkiest science heroes!

When young Temple was diagnosed with autism, no one expected her to talk, let alone become one of the most powerful voices in modern science. Yet, the determined visual thinker did just that. Her unique mind allowed her to connect with animals in a special way, helping her invent groundbreaking improvements for farms around the globe!

The Girl Who Thought in Pictures: The Story of Dr. Temple Grandin is the first book in a brand new educational series about the inspirational lives of amazing scientists. In addition to the illustrated rhyming tale, you'll find a complete biography, fun facts, a colourful timeline of events, and even a note from Temple herself!

'The author speaks directly and inclusively...this is an effective, age-appropriate introduction to a remarkable person.' - Kirkus Reviews

'Fans of Andrea Beaty's Rosie Revere, Engineer (2013), or anyone who has struggled over feeling different, will appreciate this approachable biography of a inspiring scientist.' - Booklist

Lower word count, rhyming text, and sweet illustrations make them accessible to even the youngest reader/listener. More importantly, they profile still living women scientists & doctors who persevered against the odds, pursued their passions, and became leaders in their fields."" -- Kathleen Carey, Bookseller at Book House of Stuyvesant Plaza ""Think of this as a real-life Rosie Revere Engineer or Ada Twist Scientist! Refreshing to see a kids' picture book biography about someone I hadn't known previously."" -- Tegan Tigani, Children's Book Seller at Queen Anne Bookstore"
