Reach for this book when your child is a 'multipotentialite' who can't decide if they love painting or building blocks more, or when they feel frustrated that their projects take a long time to finish. This biography reframes 'distractibility' as boundless curiosity, showing how Leonardo da Vinci used his notebooks to bridge the worlds of art, anatomy, and engineering. It is a sophisticated yet accessible look at the Renaissance man's life, emphasizing that being 'different' is often the hallmark of a genius. Through Diane Stanley's signature research and detailed illustrations, children ages 7 to 12 will see that a wandering mind can be a powerful tool for discovery. It is an ideal choice for fostering a growth mindset and a love for lifelong learning.
