Starstruck: The Cosmic Journey of Neil deGrasse Tyson

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Frank Morrison. This biography of astrophysicist Tyson concentrates on his precocious early years, during which support from his parents and opportunities in his New York City environs outweighed his encounters with racism. The authors' enthusiastic account outlines a clear trajectory to his becoming the science popularizer we know today. Morrison's illustrations use exaggeration to underscore Tyson's curiosity and enthusiasm and frequently incorporate starry skies.
