Reach for this book when your child starts asking how we know what we know, or if they struggle to see the point of their math homework. It is a perfect choice for the young tinkerer who views the world through logic but possesses a restless, creative spirit. This biography introduces William Playfair, a man who refused to see numbers as just boring lists and instead envisioned them as visual stories. Through his journey, children learn that innovation often comes from looking at the same old problems in a completely new way. At its heart, this is a story about the power of perspective and the resilience required to champion a new idea. It helps children in the 6 to 9 age range understand that being different is a prerequisite for being a pioneer. Parents will appreciate how it bridge the gap between art and data, proving that creativity is just as essential to science and history as it is to painting or writing.
