I can’t get enough of the books in this series. Every single one is beautifully illustrated and gives a short little snippet of the life of the person featured.

Like other books in this series, it is a fun little introduction to historic figures. Definitely a great way to introduce kids to biographies and a nice read for adults too. I would recommend all the books in this series.

I am such a fan of this series of picture books. Each book in the Little People, BIG DREAMS series focuses on a different person who has made a difference in the world. In this book, we learn all about Rosalind Franklin, an essential and accomplished chemist. She always had a fondness for science, even as a young girl. She went to college for science, even though it was rare for women at the time. Her discoveries assisted the British during WWII, and she was the first person ever to capture a photo of DNA. This book is inspirational to any young aspiring scientists out there and a perfect picture book to read for Women's History Month.

Rosalind Franklin was a women of science and helped in the field of DNA. I think it important for young children, especially young girls to learn about women in the STEM field. Little People, Big Dreams series is great to showcase people from the past and present so all young children can dream big.

I am a huge fan of this collection of books. As a mom of a newborn, I am excitedly growing a library for little one. I have enjoyed adding these books in.

Little people, big dreams is such a fantastic series. Admittedly, I had never heard of Rosalind Franklin before reading this book. I enjoyed getting to know a little about her. She is a great role model fornl girls. I wish she had gotten proper recognition while she was still alive.

Our family loves the Little People Big Dreams books. My 6 year old loves every single one! I do not think you can go wrong with any book in this series. This one, about Rosalind Franklin was inspiring. I love to grab anything that will encourage my girls to take an interest in STEM. THis book had my daughter asking questions every time we read it! The illustrations are as always, delightful. Rosalind Franklin's story was a good one for our whole family!

The publisher made a copy of this book available for review via Netgalley. This is my honest opinion.

Females need more role models in STEM fields and Maria Isabel Sanchez Vergara offers a great one in this simple biography of Rosalind Franklin.

I love when Little People Big Dreams does an unexpected person that needs more recognition. Roslind Franklin is just such a person. She is why we know that DNA is a double helix. She also did work on coal and viruses. She is an important historical figure that kids should know, and I am glad there is now a chance for that.

Who is this woman that the series took interest in? Though from this little book and short sentences, Ms. Franklin amazed me. One that really remind me of our goal in life. Rosalind's was finding new things in chemistry, regardless those ungrateful people who used her findings and not mentioned her. She didn't really care and kept moving on with her researches.

What an admirable person, Ms Rosalind Franklin is. Though she found so many important things that help us nowadays, she kept her head down and work.

It's science time! Rosalind Franklin was a hero during my high school years. I was big into the "women of the world" who did great and amazing things. I learned so much in chemistry class about her and wanted to be a chemist. Well, that didn't end up happening but I still love seeing and hearing her story. It was only a matter of time before she made her way into this fantastic series!

I definitely recommend picking this one up if you want to read non-fiction picture books with some fantastic STEM info in it!

The illustrations are kind of goofy and very childish, making this book not feel so... smart. It's weird, and I don't really like it. But that's just my personal opinion.

Three out of five stars.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.

Absolutely fascinating addition to this popular series. It really inspired my 5-year-old daughter, who is interested in science.

Discover the lives of extraordinary people, from designers and artists to scientists. All of them achieved incredible things, yet each began life as merely a child with a dream. Rosalind Franklin was born into a large, well educated and loving family in London, she grew up with a keen desire to do things that would improve the lives of others. By the age of 15, she knew she wanted to be a scientist. Less than 20 years later, she took the world’s first photograph of DNA, changing the future of science forever. This inspiring story of the pioneering scientist features her life story and a facts and photo section towards the back.

It's an educational and entertaining read filled with vivid full-colour illustrations and it empowers young ones to pursue their dreams without limitations and inspires them to dream bigger and realise their fullest potential, by introducing them to extraordinary people throughout history. It's a wonderfully engaging and simple to understand book that also helps kids with literacy and fosters an enjoyment of reading. You simply cannot go wrong with this series in general as everything is executed perfectly and tailored beautifully to youngsters. There is just enough information to whet their appetite but not enough to overwhelm them. Highly recommended.

Rosalind Franklin is a short illustrated biography of the famed scientist for young readers in the Little People, Big Dreams series. I've reviewed a number of these titles and all of them are delightful and exuberant little books which cover the lives of famous cultural, science, arts, and icons of innovation while maintaining an age-appropriate level of detail.

Due out 24th Aug 2021 from Quarto on their Frances Lincoln imprint, it's 32 pages and will be available in hardcover, and ebook formats.

Written by Isabel Sánchez Vegara it's well written in clear accessible language. There is so much information included in this little book. The art by Naomi Wilkinson is appealing and colorful and supports the text very well. The illustrations are active and kinetic and suit the subjects. I especially liked the artist's illustrations of the x-ray diffraction images and the famous "photo 51" which first showed the X-formation of the DNA macromolecule.

Well written and appealing, I am really enjoying all of these little books. This one is a worthy addition.

Five stars. This would make a superlative reading circle book, classroom library book, or gift. Rosalind Franklin died tragically young and I'm impressed by the way this series manages to provide age appropriate biography without emphasizing or detracting from the racism, professional sexism, and troubles she lived through. This would make a great starting point for deeper research for young readers who are interested in STEM subjects, life science, and Franklin's life and legacy.

Once again, this series has introduced another role model to my grandson and me. He was very interesting in this story, especially as his mother has her Masters in Genetics. The younger generation doesn't always understand the way women were treated years ago, as things have changed a lot since then, but I tried to impress on him how important it is that he not treat women or girls as inferior. Rosalind Franklin did some pretty impressive things in Science, Chemistry and Genetics that changed what we knew about human DNA and viruses. She did this despite being treated as an inferior scientist because she was a woman. She did not give up and persevered in her desired path. The illustrations were once again well done and complemented the text well. This book, as well as the others, piqued our interest and highlights a person who deserves to be more well known. Another great addition to this series to encourage children to follow their dreams.

I have been an avid fan of Rosalind Franklin for most of my life and it is brilliant for children's literature to finally be featuring women who were forgotten by history and to be re-written as herstory.
The illustration were both vibrant and detailed to ensure the book would be perfect for a large age range of children. The details given to narrate the story given more information than normally supplied, even in non-fiction books.
I would love to include this book as a stimulus in a cross-curricular lesson, especially in the recognition for the conversation that Franklin was not recognised to have a Nobel prize and will never will as they are not given posthumously.

Another fantastic book in this range of books - there isn't a single book I have read in this series, that I havnt enjoyed, and that hasn't taught me things that I didn't know.
I hVe never heard of Rosalind Franklin before but after reading this book, it's clear that this lady has done so much work in the world of science and should be extremely well known.

I wish I’d heard about this scientist before! I’m so glad that this book series will introduce her and her work to a new generation of readers, especially those young girls who want to pursue a life in the sciences. Great story!

This is my second book from the “Little People, Big Dreams” series. I loved it and I’m planning to collect more from this series for my one year old daughter.

I think this book is a wonderful way to introduced iconic men and specially women to children. Take for example, the brilliant Rosalind Franklin and her great contribution to science!

The lovely illustrations is a good tool to engage the young ones. This book will also set as a good example to spark inspiration to their young minds.

I highly recommend this little gem of a book!

I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

Rosalind Franklin is another amazing addition in this fabulous series - Little People Big Dreams.
This book tells the short, condensed, chikd friendly biography of Rosalind Franklin from being a child and her love of science. It's awful how Rosalind wasn't credited as she should have been back when she made such important and amazing discoveries relating to DNA.
This book encourages children (especially girls) to reach high for what they dream of doing and not let anyone hold them back in life. I wish I'd have had such amazing and inspiring books when I was a child.
