Charles Darwin by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara is the latest addition to the wonderful Little People, BIG DREAMS series. This time around, we learn of the famed scientist whose curiosity about the natural world led to the revolutionary theory that all things are related. I was fascinated to learn that Darwin once studied medicine but a fear of blood caused him to pursue his passion for exploring the science of the natural world instead.

As always with this series, this short but informative picture book draws even the youngest of readers into the lives of people who have in some way changed the world, and who, of course, all began the journey as little people themselves.
