Description

One building looks like it's been wrapped in tinfoil. Another looks like it's buried under a pile of paint chips. Frank Gehry has been called "the most important architect of our age." As a child, his parents thought of him as nothing but a dreamer. But Frank kept dreaming and playing, following his passions and becoming an architect who created astounding buildings that to this day attract millions of visitors worldwide.

"Being a Chicagoan, I know Frank Gehry's work in our beloved Pritzker Pavilion in Millennium Park. Frank, Who Liked to Build gives young readers a fascinating introduction to the creative vision behind one of the greatest architects of our time." --Sherri Duskey Rinker, author of the Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site series

Reviews

"This book provides an interesting look at the creative process--the sources of inspiration, the repeated attempts, the doubts, the risk-taking--that could be a springboard for a discussion on this topic for parents, teachers, and librarians." --Sydney Taylor Schmooze
