Sinossi
Come vola un aquilone? Perché le palline da golf hanno le fossette? Da dove nascono le idee degli inventori? Le risposte a queste e a molte altre domande le trovate qui. "Siamo tutti inventori", infatti, racconta la scienza dal punto di vista delle invenzioni e della loro genesi: gli esperimenti pratici, i molti tentativi ed errori e, a volte (perché no?), il contributo del caso. Temple Grandin accompagna i giovani lettori in un incredibile viaggio lungo la storia dell'innovazione, arricchito da aneddoti personali e dalla storia di inventori e invenzioni celebri. Grazie ai tanti progetti proposti nel libro, chiunque potrà mettersi alla prova e costruire aquiloni, aeroplanini, pupazzi di legno, fiocchi di neve, fiori e molto altro. Il messaggio del libro è soprattutto questo: immaginate e poi costruite, fate con le mani, lasciando che la vostra fantasia vi guidi e si scateni. Perché, come dice Temple Grandin, se si può immaginare, si può fare! Età di lettura: da 10 anni.

I was really excited to read this because in my line of work I hear a lot about Temple Grandin. And though this book was good with interesting facts and a lot of cool ideas to do with the kids I really wanted to know more about her and her life with her autism diagnosis.

Unconventional autobiography -- sort of a workbook like the "Dangerous Book For Boys" series suggesting projects kids can make at home. I love Ms. Grandin's outlook on life and creativity. Great advice to visualize everything, and keep your hands on what you're working.
It was nice to hear the story behind the project ideas and fun facts. I recommend this for creatives, inventors, curious minds, unique personalities, and gifted students.
