db_connection_str = 'mysql+pymysql://root:*****@localhost/northwind'
db_connection = create_engine(db_connection_str)
df = pd.read_sql('SELECT * FROM employees where BirthDate between '1948-12-08' and '1960-05-29'', con=db_connection)

Use double quotes to enclose the sql statement since you use single quotes inside the statement for the dates:

df = pd.read_sql("SELECT * FROM employees where BirthDate between '1948-12-08' and '1960-05-29'", con=db_connection)
