Before he became a doctor, Fauci was a curious boy in Brooklyn, delivering prescriptions from his fathers pharmacy on his blue Schwinn bicycle.

The book is touted as the definitive picture book biography about Fauci, who is the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease and chief medical adviser to President Joe Biden .

The book was written with Faucis permission and approval, the publisher told CNN Business. Messner said she researched Faucis life and interviewed him at the edges of his long work days . She was particularly struck by his determined curiosity and his effectiveness as a communicator.

Messner described Fauci as a kid with a million questions about everything from the tropical fish in his bedroom to the things he was taught in Sunday school.

Im really hopeful that curious kids who read this book those were counting on to solve tomorrows scientific challenges will see themselves in the pages of Dr. Faucis story and set their goals just as high, she said.
