The Boy Who Lit Up the World: The story of Nikola Tesla for children

Verity Books

Before cities sparkled with electric lights... before phones rang without wires... before the modern world buzzed and blinked at the flick of a switch - there was a boy named Nikola Tesla.

Born during a lightning storm in 1856, Nikola wasn't like other children. While others played games, he watched rivers and dreamed of invisible energy. He saw numbers in colors, memorized entire books in a day, and once caught lightning in his imagination. This boy would grow up to become one of the greatest inventors the world has ever known - and the one who truly lit it up.

"The Boy Who Lit Up the World" tells the incredible true story of Nikola Tesla, from his curious childhood in a small village to his groundbreaking inventions that changed the world. Through emotional storytelling, fun illustrations, and fascinating facts, readers will journey through Tesla's triumphs and heartbreaks - his battles with Thomas Edison, his dream of wireless power, and his lonely but powerful legacy.

This story isn't just about science - it's about wonder, imagination, and the courage to chase ideas no one else can see.

Perfect for curious minds, future inventors, and anyone who's ever looked up at a lightbulb and wondered... how did this all begin?
