As an educator who feels play is just as important (if not more) than "lessons," Maria Montessori is my hero. Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara's beautiful retelling of Maria's life and how she came to create the Montessori we all know today makes me want to pick up every single biography of Maria that I can find.
This is a woman who knows and understands the brain of a child...and what that brain needs to grow and blossom. This picture book touches briefly on the struggles Montessori faced as a woman in fields only populated by men at the time. I can only imagine what she had to go through to become the innovative woman we know of today.
As always, Ms. Vegara brings us a Solid Five Star Read. A huge Thank You to NetGalley & Quarto Publishing Group-Francis Lincoln Childrens for the digital copy to review.
