Alfred Nobel: The Man Behind the Peace Prize is a book written by Kathy-Jo Wargin and illustrated by Zachery Pullen, which is a picture book/memoir about the life of Alfred Nobel. It tells the story of Alfred Nobel, who was both passionate literature and science. He was the man who invented dynamite, and originally intended and hoped it would help the world become a better, more peaceful place. When he eventually found out that others assumed he developed it for destruction, he became upset and agitated. When he passed away, his friends and family read the will that he left behind. They discovered that he left his estate to create a foundation to recognize inventors and peace leaders, and invest money in awards that is now known as the Nobel Prizes. I think that this book had beautiful and detailed illustrations, and the story was well-written and gave you a comprehensive overview of what Alfred Nobel’s life was like. It was amazing to see how well-written this book was. There wasn’t a extremely specific moral of this story, but I think that we can all follow Alfred Nobel’s example of taking action in the world. I also think another good moral is that you shouldn’t criticize someone or assume, as you might not know their entire story, or the places they’ve been. Overall, this book was extremely creative and elaborate book, that will inspire many young readers to follow Alfred Noble’s great example.
