Read the Reviews!
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.

"Recommended for any kid in need of new facts for the dinner table."—
Forward: The Jewish Daily
"In this picture book, a bold, descriptive vocabulary holds its own against the driving, swirling art. Gehry studies, plays, invents, and above all dreams. Then he turns the possibilities into reality by “starting with ordinary and shaping it into extraordinary one building at a time.”"—
Jewish Book Council
"Blumenthal’s message to her juvenile readers: Keep dreaming, playing and following your passions."—
Jewish Herald-Voice
"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." —
Sydney Taylor Schmooze
