I love Frank Lloyd Wright's work so I was keen to read this biography. He didn't have good role modeling in his life from his dad and that had a great impact on his family life. It was interesting to read about how he valued play and simplicity.
I've heard in places that this series is targeted to middle school. I hope my grade 3s are okay with it because I have a lot of them! I guess I'll have to read more of them to make sure they're okay.
Goodreads says:
Born in Wisconsin in 1867, Frank Lloyd Wright became obsessed with a set of building blocks his mother had given to him on his ninth birthday. He grew up to become the father of organic architecture and the greatest American architect of all time, having designed more than 1,100 buildings during his lifetime. These included private homes – such as the stunning Fallingwater, churches, temples, a hotel, and the world-famous Guggenheim Museum in New York City. When asked how he could create so many designs, he answered, “I can’t get them out fast enough.” Frank Lloyd Wright was a man ahead of his time who could barely keep up with his own ideas!
