gentle beginnings of Frank Lloyd Wright ( )

This picture book biography examines how shape and Midwestern life influenced Frank Lloyd Wright from a young age, up to and including his career as architect designing his famous prairie houses. The illustrations fittingly use stylized geometric shapes. A brief author's note fills out some more details about Wright's life; backmatter also includes photographs of Wright's most famous buildings. ( )
