About This Book
Reach for this book when you notice your child filling notebooks with wild inventions or asking 'why' about every plant and machine they see. It is a perfect fit for the child who feels like their brain moves in too many directions at once. This biography follows Leonardo da Vinci from his apprenticeship in Florence to his legendary career as a painter, scientist, and engineer. Beyond just art, it explores his relentless curiosity and his many unfinished projects, framing them as part of a brilliant, hungry mind. It validates the idea that being multi-talented and deeply inquisitive is a gift, even when it makes you feel different from your peers. Written for the 7 to 10 age range, it provides a sophisticated yet accessible look at a man who proved that art and science are two sides of the same coin.
