Children love to read about their heroes, and be inspired by them - but what about the actual thought processes behind some of the most brilliant minds. What drove them on to become the best in their particular fields?
"How to think like an Absolute Genius" by Philippe Brasseur aims to answer some of those questions, detailing the lives of some of the most amazing women and men.
Artists, scientists, mathematicians, explorers - folk who have pushed their minds and bodies to the limits in order to achieve their goals.
This wonderful book encourages children to be curious, imaginative and creative.
Children know that their world evolves so quickly, and changes so rapidly that school almost feels like it's permanently on fast-foward.
Taking cues from the greatest and good, such as songwriter and musician John Lennon, artist and animator Walt Disney, or great thinkers like Copernicus - 27 complete geniuses in all, they will be able to ramp up their abilities like superheroes.
A truly brilliant and absorbing new book.
"How to think like an Absolute Genius" by Philippe Brasseur is out now, published by QED (kindly supplied for review).
