In this book from the highly acclaimed Little People, BIG DREAMS series, discover the incredible life of Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing. I always want the students in my classroom to know about different careers, different obstacles people face, and different ways of thinking.

At the back of this book there is a facts and photo section to support the story told (great for parents and older children hungry for a few more details). The groundbreaking monograph contains Hadid's own striking drawings and paintings, as well as hundreds of sketches, plans, and models. It's a collection that can be flipped through for pleasure or studied for a greater understanding on abstraction in design.

With abundant photographs, in-depth sketches, and Hadid’s own drawings, the volume traces the evolution of her career, spanning not only her most pioneering buildings but also the furniture and interior designs that were integrated into her unique, and distinctly 21st-century, universe. With her spectacular vision and belief in the power of architecture, she founded her own firm and designed some of the most outstanding buildings in the world – including the London 2012 Olympic Aquatic Centre. Zaha Hadid’s gift to the world was a creative genius that captured the collective imagination and influenced designers to challenge the perceived limits that were once imposed by both aesthetics and engineering.

Also, the illustrations were wonderful really bringing to life the feeling of shape and movement that Zaha saw and placed in her designs.

Born in Iraq, raised in London and recipient of the coveted Pritzker Architecture Prize (and twice winner of the UK’s Stirling Prize), Hadid transformed our experience of space and architecture in a career that spanned forty years.

Activity books and a journal provide even more ways to make the lives of these role models accessible to children.
