2024 Garden State Children's Book Award Nominee
2023 Finalist AAAS/Subaru SB&F Prize for Excellence in Science Books

Tu Youyou's malaria treatment saved millions of lives, and she became the first Chinese woman to win a Nobel Prize.

Tu Youyou had been interested in science and medicine since she was a child, so when malaria started infecting people all over the world in 1969, she went to work finding a treatment. Trained as a medical researcher in college and healed by traditional medicine techniques when she was young, Tu Youyou started experimenting with natural Chinese remedies. The treatment she discovered through years of research and experimentation is still used all over the world today.
