George Gamow wrote several books on physics, biology and chemistry for novices, replete with cute sketches. For Biology, see Dr. Tompkins Inside Himself. For History of Physics, see Thirty Years that Shook the World. For "atoms" and the like, see Mr. Tompkins in Wonderland. This is a books which includes short (~20 pages) stories about various topics as advanced as general relativity, but also as mundane as atomic physics. If her precise interest isn't reflected in one of these, let me know & I'll dig up names of some other likely books. If you go to the library & look under Gamow, I think you'll not be disappointed. Good luck. - Troy Incidentally, I also know of some genetics, evolution and even calculus comic books.
