Microbes are everywhere: in the soil and oceans, in snow, and inside our bodies. But
in Antony van Leeuwenhoek’s time, people believed that what they saw with their
own eyes was all that existed in the world. How did a simple tradesman—who didn’t
go to college or speak English or Latin like all the other scientists—change everyone’s
minds?

Proving that remarkable discoveries can come from the most unexpected people and
places, this eye-opening chapter book, illustrated with lively full-color art, celebrates
the power of curiosity, ingenuity, and persistence.
