About This Book
Reach for this book when you notice your child becoming frustrated that their big ideas don't match their current skills, or when they seem obsessed with 'how things work.' It is perfect for the child who spends hours with LEGOs or drawing elaborate maps and needs to see that a lifelong passion can start with a simple set of blocks. This biography follows Frank Lloyd Wright from his Wisconsin childhood to his status as a world-renowned architect, emphasizing how his connection to nature and his refusal to follow traditional rules allowed him to innovate. While it celebrates his massive creative output and self-confidence, it also touches on the resilience needed to bounce back from personal and professional setbacks. It is an ideal bridge for elementary readers moving into more complex nonfiction, offering inspiration for anyone who feels a little 'different' because of their intense focus and imagination.
