Shelly Laslo Books

From the critically acclaimed, multimillion-copy bestselling Little People, BIG DREAMS series, discover the life of Louis Pasteur, the French chemist and the father of modern medicine.

Little Louis was born in France during a time when doctors were still trying to figure out what made people sick. During his teen years, he discovered a love for science and became famous for figuring out how to kill off damaging microbes. Through his curiosity and creativity (and lots of trial and error), his research led to the development of vaccinations, a vital tool in today’s world.

This inspiring book features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the iconic chemist’s life.

Find the Spy uncovers the stories of eight real-life secret agents, and the spy skills that made them great. One crawled across the rooftops of Paris, another hid secrets in her wooden leg, and there’s even a grandma-next-door who wasn’t quite what she seemed…

Shelly Laslo’s artwork is full of character, cunning and sneaky side glances that draw children into a world of invisible ink, cryptography and disguise. There are wonderfully illustrated spotting scenes to get lost in and top-secret spy skills to learn too.
