How to Have a Thought

Day, Nicholas & Hooper, Hadley Hardcover, 32 pages Take a walk with Charles Darwin in this electrifying new picture book from Sibert Medalist Nicholas Day. How do you work through a complicated idea, solve a tricky problem, or make a big discovery? Charles Darwin had a lot of ways to do it. He paced in circles and hit rocks with a stick. He studied the bones of his dinner. He even rode around the world on a boat called The Beagle. These methods may sound unorthodox, but they led him to some pretty great thoughts--and discoveries about the origins of life as we know it. Sibert Medalist Nicholas Day's conversational text has all the charm of a true story told by your smartest, most interesting friend. With Hadley Hooper's engrossingly textured illustrations, How to Have a Thought is both an introduction to Darwin and an invitation to live with brilliant curiosity.
