Leonardo and the Flying Boy (Anholt's Artists Books for Children)

Zoro is a little boy in 17th-century Italy long before airplanes flew in the sky. But Zoro is also an apprentice to the artist and inventor Leonardo da Vinci--and Leonardo is experimenting with a revolutionary flying machine! This is a title in Barrons Anholts Artists Books for Children series in which author and illustrator Laurence Anholt recalls memorable and sometimes amusing moments when the lives of the artists were touched by children. Anholts fine illustrations appear on every page and include reproductions of works by the artists.
