A boy rides a bicycle down a dusty road. But in his mind, he envisions himself traveling at a speed beyond imagining, on a beam of light. This brilliant mind will one day offer up some of the most revolutionary ideas ever conceived. From a boy endlessly fascinated by the wonders around him, Albert Einstein ultimately grows into a man of genius recognized the world over for profoundly illuminating our understanding of the universe. Jennifer Berne and Vladimir Radunsky invite the reader to travel along with Einstein on a journey full of curiosity, laughter, and scientific discovery. Parents and children alike will appreciate this moving story of the powerful difference imagination can make in any life.

　　爱因斯坦小的时候不爱讲话，只喜欢观察与思考。等到他开始讲话的时候，他不断地提问，以至于老师们认定他是一个捣蛋鬼，注定一事无成。然而，爱因斯坦依然坚持去学习与探索他感兴趣的事情，从而发现了很多前人没有发现过的东西，也因此创立了很多伟大的理论学说，为社会做出了巨大的科学贡献。书中还讲述了爱因斯坦喜欢拉小提琴，喜欢乘船在海上穿行，喜欢吃冰淇淋，不喜欢穿袜子等很多有趣的特点，让孩子们了解一个不平凡又平凡的爱因斯坦。
　　作者珍妮弗伯恩在研究和创作这本书的过程中花了大量时间来探索爱因斯坦令人兴奋的想法和他耐人寻味的世界，她希望孩子们通过阅读这本书可以认识到，好奇心足以驱动他们找到人生的方向。只要有热情，也可以像爱因斯坦那样发现关于我们的世界和宇宙的完全的新的未知。她在书中展现出的爱因斯坦最真髓的特征：疑惑、思考、计算和想象，被设计成如副歌一般，在不断地重复，贯穿了书的始终。
