Reach for this book when your child is facing a setback with a creative project or feels discouraged by a difficult task. It is the perfect antidote to the frustration of 'I can't do it.' This biography follows Alberto Santos-Dumont from his childhood on a Brazilian coffee plantation to the skies of Paris, illustrating how his early curiosity about machinery evolved into the invention of the first controllable airship. Through whimsical, cartoon-style illustrations and clear diagrams, it explores themes of resilience, the joy of tinkering, and the importance of dreaming big. It is an ideal choice for elementary-aged children who are captivated by how things work and need to see that even the greatest inventors started as kids who loved to play and build.
