Features: In the last century, the name of Albert Einstein was synonymous with "genius." During his lifetime, Einstein found this amusing. He believed he was simply more curious than others and more willing to seek answers to the questions he raised in his childhood, while many adults had long forgotten them. So, when children from all over the world, innocent and adorable, wrote to the world's most famous scientist Einstein, what would they ask? And how would Einstein reply? In this book, Alice Kalopsis collected over sixty letters written by children to Einstein, with pure and lovely words. Most of the letters and photographs in the book had never been publicly released before. Many precious photographs in the book, such as Einstein's group photos with children, him wearing an Indian headdress, holding an Einstein doll, or wearing fluffy slippers, add even more charm to the text. Einstein had his own pure educational philosophy, hoping to guide children to grow up healthily in an impure real world. He admired such an educational system: one that could inspire children's curiosity about the world around them, reward excellent teachers, and firmly eliminate authoritarian education that hinders teachers and students from exchanging ideas. These views are sure to be loved by teachers, parents, and all children who aspire to become scientists in the future. Einstein's letters show that scientists can not only bring new ideas to the world but also influence it with humanitarianism and humanistic care. Let Einstein influence your child, and even yourself, so you will gain more strength for growth from it.
