Hedy Lamarr's Double Life: Hollywood Legend and Brilliant Inventor by Laurie Wallmark
5.0
This is a wonderful childrens picture book about Hedy LaMarr, mostly highlighing her as inventor. It also provides the only explanation of her invention, which allows for security and privacy in today's electronics communications, that I actually could follow and understand. Probably that's because it is written for children and has lots of diagrams and pictures! I loved the artwork.
Not sure how this came on my radar and added to my TBR - possibly through a friend with kids or one who is part of a children's writers group. However it did, I'm keeping this and the series it numbers in, as gifts for kids. I'd say these work for those reading more than learn to read picture books but not yet comfortable with chapter books.
