Description - I am Leonardo da Vinci by Brad Meltzer

Leonardo da Vinci was one of the greatest artists and inventors the world has ever known. From childhood, he loved science and nature, building, music, math . . . and always art. He spent hours and hours practicing drawing, painting, and sculpting, or jotting down new, strange-sounding ideas (like flying machines and underwater gear). Today, more than 500 years later, all of his inventions actually work, and his Mona Lisa is the most famous painting in the whole world. He knew that new ideas are beautiful.
