Alfred Nobel the Man Behind the Peace Prize is written by Kathy-Jo Wargin and illustrated by Zachary Pullen.

Alfred was a man from Sweden. Born in the 19th century.

Alfred Nobel once accidentally dropped a hammer and a huge explosion on an anvil. Alfred discovered a liquid that could cause explosions. Alfred called it nitroglycerin. Alfred needed to share this liquid he called nitroglycerin with his family. Once, Alfred’s brother, Ludvig wanted to test nitroglycerin. Emil said he could invent somethings with nitroglycerin. Including weapons and tools. Alfred thought it was a good idea so he let Emil use nitroglycerin. One day, the nitroglycerin exploded and destroyed a small hut. Five people were in the hut and they all died. Including Emil. Alfred felt very guilty after Emil’s death. Two years later after Emil’s death, Alfred was being judged massively. Over time, Alfred still continued his job and everyone is now neutral.
