A National Science Teaching Association's Best STEM Book of the Year "A hardworking title, this is a great choice for allaying vaccination fears, communicating the importance of science and medicine, showing that heroes come in many forms, and explaining that education, creativity, resilience, and dedication can lead to achievements and concrete results. An engaging blend of history, biography, science, and epidemiology that is sure to inspire and inform." -- Booklist "Robbins' biography is particularly timely within the context of the coronavirus epidemic, and his direct, streamlined account connects well with early primary listeners, who may take some comfort in knowing that science has managed to get other epidemics under control." -- The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books " Thank You, Dr. Salk is as timely as a book can be and will offer an easy entry to discussions of epidemics, scientific research, vaccines, and working together as a community . This is a true story that will help kids think deeply about the past, make connections to the present, and inspire hope for the future." -- The Sydney Taylor Schmooze.
