Description
Curiosity and observation were his stock and trade! Apparently, Leo's ability to notice detail went a long way to his success as an artist and inventor. These are skills anyone can develop. In fact, in reading this book, I thought he sounded like a homeschooled kid! How cool is that? This is the simplest introduction to da Vinci, making it age appropriate and a good way to “talk science" with the younger set. You never know what you may inspire! Parents should know that the book contains a very tiny Vitruvian man image, about an inch high, and he is nude. ~Sara
Publisher's Description of I Am Leonardo da Vinci (Ordinary People Change the World)
The famous Renaissance artist and inventor Leonardo da Vinci is the twentieth hero in the New York Times bestselling picture book biography series.
This friendly, fun biography series focuses on the traits that made our heroes great–the traits that kids can aspire to in order to live heroically themselves. Each book tells the story of an icon in a lively, conversational way that works well for the youngest nonfiction readers and that always includes the hero's childhood influences. At the back are an excellent timeline and photos. This book features Leonardo da Vinci, the Renaissance artist and inventor. He always followed his interests, no matter where they led! His quest to fly led him to study birds' wings and his invention designs were the very earliest sketches of helicopters and other flying machines. Da Vinci's hard work and dedication to his curiosities is why we still remember him today.
