Description

Young readers of all ages will love this story about President Thomas Jefferson, who found his passion as soon as he learned to read- books, books, and more books! Before, during, and after the American Revolution, Jefferson collected thousands of books on hundreds of subjects. In fact, his massive collection eventually helped rebuild the Library of Congress-now the largest library in the world. Author Barb Rosenstock's rhythmic words and illustrator John O'Brien's whimsical illustrations capture Jefferson's zeal for the written word as well as little-known details about book collecting. An author's note, bibliography, and source notes for quotations are also included.

She lives outside Chicago with her husband and two sons. Visit her on the web at barbrosenstock.com.
