This is the third book I've read in the "Little People BIG DREAMS" series. that describes, in simple terms, the life of Maria Montessori. Montessori, an Italian physician and educator, created a classroom environment that fostered a child's natural desire to learn.

The simple illustrations and text can be easily understood by young readers. I love this whole series and feel it would be an important addition to school libraries.

I love the picture books that Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara does. They are perfect for little children.
This one is a board book that introduces the little readers to the incredible life of the pioneering teacher and researcher that is Maria Montessori.
It is written in simple sentences, which are perfect for the little ones and it offers them inspiring messages.
I love how quirky the illustrations are.

This was nice but felt a little bare-bones compared to some of the other Little People, Big Dreams books.

Another great edition of Little people Big dreams. Maria Montessori, a female who beat the odds and showed the world that through love and education many problems can be solved or alleviated.
Another strong female in history who helped create a better world.

Maria Montessori by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara is another addition to the always popular series Little People BIG DREAMS. As per usual, the simplified text and colourful and detailed illustrations work in harmony to create an educational biography that is both accessible and aesthetically pleasing to even the very youngest of readers. I am looking forward to adding this latest entry into my ever growing collection of this wonderful series.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group - Frances Lincoln Childrens for this ARC.

The things you learn by reading this little series of picture books for young children. I didn't know that Maria Montessori was a woman. I had always admired the MOntessori schools, and I find it heartening that a woman had the foresight to come up with them.

It is a very small book, so there isn't a lot of room to cram in info, but what they did include about her worked with the disabled, and how she was the first woman to go to medical school, in in Italy.

It is a quick look at a famous woman, and hopefully this quick a look will make it easier for a bunch of other states.

Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.
