Great Lives in Graphics: Albert Einstein

Great Lives in Graphics: Albert Einstein reimagines the lives of extraordinary people in vivid technicolor, presenting 250+ fascinating facts in a new and exciting way.

You may already know that Albert Einstein was a scientist, but did you know he never wore socks?

Or that he had a violin named Lina?

This graphic retelling of Albert’s story gives children a visual snapshot of his life and the world he grew up in, while educating them on everything from how gravity works to the importance of creative thinking.

The Great Lives in Graphics series is a new way of looking at the lives of famous and influential people. It takes the essential dates and achievements of each person’s life, mixes them with lesser-known facts and trivia, and uses infographics to show them in a fresh visual way that is genuinely engaging for children and young adults.

The result is a colorful, fascinating, and often surprising representation of that person’s life, work, and legacy. Using timelines, maps, repeated motifs and many more beautiful and informative illustrations, readers learn not just about the main subject of the book but also about the cultural background of the time in which they lived.

Great Lives in Graphics has been created by Button Books’ team of writers, editors, specialist historians and designers, who have collectively worked across a wide range of media including: books, magazines, newspaper, TV and radio. The design team have also worked for worldwide brands including: Nickelodeon, Penguin Books, Renault, MTV, Virgin and Levis.
