Like the infinite-shade of colors, the richness of life is enhanced by our natural inclination, as creative beings, to hold distinct perspectives on just about any subject. Collectively, however, I believe we all appreciate the profound significance of all the things that influenced and molded us from an early age—the moments and events that are weaved intricately into our memories.
Who amongst us cannot
recall a story, no matter what artistic form used to bring it to life: a book,
a show, a play, a comic, a song, a movie, or even a real-life character (that
family member, teacher, coach, or friend) who shaped the lens with which we
view the world then, now, and always.
For this very reason, I
believe children should see themselves represented in all areas of human
endeavors, cementing deep within their framework the possibilities that await,
regardless of prevailing circumstances.
My hope is to bridge
the diversity gap in STEM by creating excitement around Science, Technology,
Engineering, and Math through diverse representation.
"I see me,
therefore I can be."
So it remains, like the
infinite shades of color, the richness of life is enhanced by the stories and
experiences that holds us.
-Louis J. Desforges
Of all the paths I can explore,
Of all the subjects I adore,
The world of science excites me more.
Science helps us see
What was, what is, and what can be
You’ll get a million questions from me!
I observe, I explore…
I’ll get to the core, that’s for sure.
What will I find...maybe a cure?
Or a giant fossil
Of a DINOSAUR!
my review...
This book has pretty well everything you could want to read to a child or for a young reader. Plus as you can see from the excerpt it is in a sort of prose making it easier for any reader or listener. I've said this enough times to be accused of plagiarinzing myself but I absolutely love books that are fun and educational at the same time. Aside from its cute illustrations this book has something even more important. It teaches self-worth; that we can be what we want to be. Can't get much better than that, can it?
about Louis J. Desforges...
Having endless
curiosity, Louis has always been enthralled by the inner workings of everything
around him.
With a natural and insatiable drive to build, explore, and understand, one of his fondest childhood memories is harvesting toasters, microwaves, TVs, and other discarded electronics in his Brooklyn neighborhood so he could take apart and rebuild them, or scavenge parts to build his own remote-controlled cars or planes.
He is the first to admit that nothing ever worked as intended, or at all, for that matter, but that never really mattered to him. As long as he was dissecting, constructing, exploring and learning, his cup was always full.
Today, his tinkering looks very different. Louis spends countless hours building and rebuilding Lego sets with his four-year-old son.
With any free time left after work and family life (usually late at night), you can find Louis in his workshop (any available free space with a flat surface) writing, painting, sculpting or toiling over his photography; nonetheless, his deep love for STEM remains, and at its core feeds his endless curiosity and desire to understand the inner workings of everything.
