Unwrapping the book



This book is another great inspirational addition to the "Little People BIG DREAMS" series. Maria grew up in Italy at a time when girls didn't receive equal education to boys.  Her supportive mother saw to it that she got a good education and supported her daughter's dreams.  Maria, displaying great intellect, went on to study medicine.  Later on in life she became an expert in early childhood education.  Her ideas were revolutionary at the time and kids all over the world benefited from them.  She made learning interactive and fun and as a result kids began to love learning in these innovative learning centres that Maria founded. 

The illustrations are colourful and enrich the simple text.  The book includes a mini bio of Maria Montessori to help kids learn more about this creative hands-on educator.  If you look around where you live there may be centres using the Montessori method of learning right near you.  I highly recommend this book and the whole series.
