Born in Persia more than a thousand years ago, Ibn Sina was one of the greatest thinkers of his time — a philosopher, scientist and physician who made significant discoveries, especially in the field of medicine, and wrote more than one hundred books. As a child, Ibn Sina was extremely bright, a voracious reader who loved to learn and was fortunate to have the best teachers. He memorized the Qur’an by the age of ten and completed his medical studies at sixteen. He spent his life traveling, treating the sick, seeking knowledge through research, and writing about his discoveries. He came up with new theories in the fields of physics, chemistry, astronomy and education. His most famous work is The Canon of Medicine, a collection of books that were used for teaching in universities across the Islamic world and Europe for centuries. Ibn Sina’s story, told in the first person and beautifully illustrated, provides a fascinating glimpse into the life of one of the great intellects of the past.

From School Library Journal Gr 2–4—This picture book tells the story of Ibn Sina, who compiled The Canon of Medicine, an encyclopedia of medicine that was used in the Islamic world and Europe up until the 18th century. An influential thinker, Ibn Sina came up with many ideas taken for granted today, such as that learning begins at birth and that contaminated water can spread disease. He was born in Persia in 980, and this story starts with his childhood, emphasizing his passion for literature and medicine. Even before turning 18, Ibn Sina succeeded where the best doctors failed, curing Sultan Nuh ibn Mansour al-Samani. As a reward, he was invited to stay at the sultan's palace and given access to the library. As the political landscape changed, Ibn Sina traveled often, helping many sick people and learning from the experiences. Enchanting illustrations convey the man's experiences. Educators may enjoy having the opportunity to introduce a lesser-known historical figure to kids. However, the text is less than stellar. Told in the first person from Ibn Sina's point of view, the narrative is on the wordy side and tends toward the didactic, covering somewhat complex concepts with which few students are likely to be familiar. VERDICT Because of the dearth of titles on this historical figure, this is a suitable addition for collections looking to diversify their biography collections, but it likely won't resonate with readers.—Robin Sofge, Prince William Public Library System, VA

To Dense and Dry for Children By Nettie Atkisson I wanted to find a book to teach my children more about the amazing accomplishments of Muslim scholars between 700-1492 period after visiting Spain and seeing the Alhambra. This was too thick with info, and too dry to maintain the interest of even me. Dang. I will have to keep looking as this is an important topic.

A good son gifted with intelligence and good will brings important medical discoveries for his generation and 100 more ahead By Star of India I got this book from the library shelves and after reading it I am ready to buy a few copies to give away to concerned parents w children. It's a book with beautiful and unusual illustrations and the child should be guided and read to while admiring the illustrations. The first time one should read along w the child and see what part interests him/her and relate it to his/her own personal experience or ask some relevant questions. A well thought, well written and provocative book for all times. This is why it's important to read it first (I always do) before sharing it w your child. It may have, perhaps, more information your child is willing or ready to understand so feel free to skip it or modify it but be aware to pass on to your child the basic values, I.e. The importance and worthiness of the pursuit of knowledge and truth in studies.The joy and satisfaction of sharing and helping others and the awareness of what seems bad luck or set backs can become ones fortune if one uses the situation in a positive attitude. Despite having to move many times involuntarily he used travel and new experiences as gifts which allowed him to travel and discover new things. He was a child like any other, loved his parents and his love for learning helped him at a young age to make enormous medical discoveries that helped so many others in his time. Maybe the help of a pet parrot for our hero can help the little ones stay more focus following Ibn Sin more closely in his travels...this could be useful for the grown ups to add and interweave the story of an imaginary pet to make it more interesting...a good book for children and parents to read and enjoy but parents must give themselves the patient to read it and enjoy it first and be prepared to spend quality time to read it and enjoy it along with the child. A good and beautiful book.
