The Nobel Prize is awarded to people who have made impactful strides in their individual fields of work. The categories for the Prize are chemistry, economic sciences, literature, peace, physics, and physiology or medicine.
Given the impact that Nobel Prize winners have had on our society, itâs no surprise that childrenâs authors have been moved to write about them in hopes of inspiring the next generation. Check out some of Lee & Lowâs titles about Nobel Prize winners below!
