Titles in Collection & Description
Meet Hedy Lamarr, the brilliant actress and inventor who changed the world in more ways than one. As a child growing up in Austria, Hedy was endlessly curious, always asking questions and taking things apart to see how they worked. Her love of learning and problem-solving stayed with her throughout her life.
Hedy became a famous Hollywood star, but her greatest achievement happened behind the scenes. During World War II, she co-invented a ground-breaking communication system designed to help keep messages secure—technology that would later become the foundation for modern wireless communication, including Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
Beautifully illustrated and told in an accessible, child-friendly way, this Little People, BIG DREAMS biography celebrates creativity, intelligence, and perseverance. With extra facts and a timeline at the back, it’s an inspiring read that shows children they can be both imaginative and innovative—and that big ideas can come from unexpected places.
