description
onardo da Vinci is a graphic retelling of da Vinci's story which gives children a visual snapshot of his life and creative genius, while educating them on everything from his incredible inventions to his artistic innovations.

You may already know that Leonardo da Vinci painted the Mona Lisa, one of the most famous paintings of all time, but did you know that he also came up with the idea for an early version of a tank and a helicopter? Or that he never went to school? Or that he liked to dissect corpses and draw them to better understand the workings of the human body? And that he could write backwards?

Great Lives in Graphics reimagines the lives of extraordinary people in vivid technicolor, presenting 250+ biographical facts in a new and exciting way. It takes the essential dates and achievements of each person's life, mixes them with lesser-known facts and trivia, and uses infographics to show them in a fresh visual way that is genuinely engaging for children and young adults. The result is a colorful, fascinating and often surprising representation of that person's life, work and legacy. Using timelines, maps, repeated motifs and many more beautiful and informative illustrations, readers learn not just about the main subject of the book but also about the cultural background of the time in which they lived.
