Critics Review
“The Story of Leonardo da Vinci is exactly the type of book I would have gobbled up as a kid, grabbed to read with my own children, and recommended to parents when I was teaching. Engaging, educational, and above all, inspiring–author Ciara O’Neal’s words will spark curiosity and empower kids to believe in their own hopes and dreams and plans of what might be.” –Vivian Kirkfield, Author of From Here to There: Inventions That Changed the Way the World Moves, Sweet Dreams, Sarah: From Slavery to Inventor, and Making Their Voices Heard: The Inspiring Friendship of Ella Fitzgerald and Marilyn Monroe
“The Story of Leonardo da Vinci is full of interesting facts and stories behind the creator of the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper. Readers will not only learn the historical background of this master artist but also about his life as a curious kid growing up during the Renaissance. Ciara O’Neal shares many of Leonardo’s lesser-known roles such as scientist, cartographer, and mathematician. The author does a thorough job sharing the life of this inspiring man.” –Shannon Anderson, Teacher and Author of The Story of Benjamin Franklin
“Little-known facts about Leonardo da Vinci fill the pages of this engaging and intriguing biography. As the daughter of an art teacher, and a former educator myself, I highly recommend this outstanding resource for kids.” –Susan B. Katz, NBCT, bestselling author of more than a dozen books including The Story of: RBG, Frida Kahlo, Jane Goodall, Albert Einstein, Marie Curie, Fred Rogers, and Gandhi
