About the Book

What do these brilliant minds—Archimedes. Marie Curie. Alan Turing. Jagdish Chandra Bose. Rachel Carson—have in common? They all started their quest with a question. Learning from Great Scientists—The Power of Asking Why invites young readers to walk in the footsteps of history’s most curious thinkers— not as unreachable geniuses, but as people who once asked, Why? or What if? This book brings science to life through the eyes of children who meet big questions the same way Archimedes did in his bathtub, or Bose did while watching a plant move. Each chapter blends science, storytelling, and real-life wonder to show how curiosity, perseverance, and imagination can lead to discoveries and inventions that change the world. Because behind every invention, every breakthrough, every ‘Eureka!’—there was a child who once dared to ask a simple question.
