Kati’s Tiny Messengers: Dr. Katalin Karikó and the Battle against COVID-19

Kati’s Tiny Messengers tells the story of Katalin Karikó, a scientist whose determination guided her work with messenger RNA. Her research aimed to disrupt the spread of viruses and later contributed to the development of a COVID-19 vaccine. The book follows this long-running scientific effort, linking Karikó’s persistence to mRNA’s role in responding to the pandemic. Mixed-media digital illustrations accompany the account, which also includes extensive back matter.
