One building looks like it’s been wrapped in tinfoil. Another looks like it’s buried under a pile of paint chips. Frank Gehry has been called “the most important architect of our age”. As a child, his parents thought of him as but nothing but a dreamer who wouldn’t amount to anything.

Even so, Frank kept dreaming and playing, eventually following his passions and becoming an architect who created astounding buildings that to this day attract millions of visitors worldwide.

This book provides an interesting look at the creative process--the sources of inspiration, the repeated attempts, the doubts, the risk-taking--that could be a springboard for a discussion on this topic for parents, teachers, and librarians.
