Another great edition of Little people Big dreams. Maria Montessori, a female who beat the odds and showed the world that through love and education many problems can be solved or alleviated.
Another strong female in history who helped create a better world.
Maria Montessori by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara is another addition to the always popular series Little People BIG DREAMS. As per usual, the simplified text and colourful and detailed illustrations work in harmony to create an educational biography that is both accessible and aesthetically pleasing to even the very youngest of readers. I am looking forward to adding this latest entry into my ever growing collection of this wonderful series.
Many thanks to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group - Frances Lincoln Childrens for this ARC.
The things you learn by reading this little series of picture books for young children. I didn't know that Maria Montessori was a woman. I had always admired the MOntessori schools, and I find it heartening that a woman had the foresight to come up with them.
It is a very small book, so there isn't a lot of room to cram in info, but what they did include about her worked with the disabled, and how she was the first woman to go to medical school, in in Italy.

It is a quick look at a famous woman, and hopefully this quick a look will make it easier for a bunch of other states.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

Excellent storybook with accurate biographical description of the life of María Montessori. Loved the pictures and the simplicity of the text.
