Here's some titles I found on the WorldCat Library Catalog Database. I
didn't confirm age level--most are probably a bit advanced for a seven year
old--but I've read childrens books on astronomer Maria Mitchell and enjoyed
them. Ask the reference librarian or childrens librarian at your local
public library this same question. They'll be happy to help!
