A GOOD STORY IS A GOOD STORY

Teaching little ones the basic concepts of science has never been easier or more fun with the help of Mariela Kleiner’s darling new children’s book, Meet Einstein. Mariela is an expert on Einstein and Science Education for young children. In her book, Albert Einstein helps to introduce kids to science, and show them that they are already great scientists! Mariela Kleiner was inspired to write this book when her daughter Hailey chose a grown-up book for her bedtime story, which happened to be Einstein's book, "Relativity." Hailey was a persistent two-year old, so Mariela improvised the story of Albert Einstein so her daughter could understand it.

Receiving much advanced praise from educators, parents, children and the book industry, Meet Einstein is the winner of the 2010 National Indie Excellence Award for best children’s picture book. “... Meet Einstein is definitely at the top of my list! I watched the children in our classrooms who have read this book jump up and down and talk about how ‘gravity’ has something to do with it. Also, I heard them saying how they want to become scientists when they grow up!

The illustrations are absolutely phenomenal! Bravo Mariela, our children are waiting to meet some more interesting people next!”said Haideh Tabrizi, Founder-Administrator of Good Neighbor Montessori in Palo Alto, Calif.
