Who Was Leonardo Da Vinci? (Who Was?)

by Roberta Edwards (Author) TRUE Kelley (Illustrator)

Reading Level: 4^th − 5^th Grade

Series: Who Was?

Common Sense Media Review

Leonardo da Vinci was a gifted painter, talented musician, and dedicated scientist and inventor, designing flying machines, submarines, and even helicopters. Yet he had a hard time finishing things, a problem anyone can relate to.

Only thirteen paintings are known to be his; as for the illustrated encyclopedia he intended to create, all that he left were thousands of disorganized notebook pages.

Here is an accessible portrait of a fascinating man who lived at a fascinating time--Italy during the Renaissance.
