Little People, Big Dreams: Rosalind Franklin by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara & Naomi Wilkinson. Let’s introduce the youngest dreamers to the incredible life of the scientist who was crucial to the discovery of the double helix in DNA with the Little People, Big Dreams: Rosalind Franklin book.
Little Rosalind was born in London to a Jewish family who valued education and public service. Having studied physics and chemistry at Cambridge University, Rosalind moved to Paris to perfect her life’s work in X-ray crystallography. She then moved back to King’s College London, where she would work on finding the structure of DNA with Maurice Wilkins. After a fallout, Maurice used Rosalind’s 'photo 51' to create a DNA model with Francis Crick. Rosalind’s contribution was not acknowledged until after she had passed on.
