EVIDENCE! HOW DR. JOHN SNOW SOLVED THE MYSTERY OF CHOLERA written by Deborah Hopkinson and illustrated by Nik Henderson

Deborah Hopkinson’s gift for evocative words that turn historical stories into relatable tales for children is once again clear in EVIDENCE! HOW DR. JOHN SNOW SOLVED THE MYSTERY OF CHOLERA. Nik Henderson’s monochromatic illustrations help envision “hot, stinky” 1854 London where yellow smoke spews, horse dung lines the streets and sewage fills yards and cellars. Into this dramatic setting comes Dr. John Snow, a devoted doctor, giving man and a dramatic medical detective who, unlike other professionals, runs towards not away from the outbreak with a determination to change how the world thinks. There’s more information about this book in the purchase link below.
