My almost 5-year-old and I love the series of books by Laurence Anholt that covers art appreciation, featuring different artists, such as Monet, Vincent Van Gogh, Matisse, and here, Leonardo da Vinci. Young children will discover the many talents of Leonardo da Vinci who was a painter, sculptor, musician, and scientist. It's an inspiring read for both young children and adults, and the story of da Vinci is told in an easy to understand manner, portraying the many talents of a genius. The illustrations by author-artist Laurence Anholt are captivating as usual, with bold use of colors. The story itself borders on the fantastic at times, especially with the depictions of the flying machines (one of da Vinci's inventions),and is a great way to inspire young children to dream the impossible and attain great 'heights'!
