Praise

“This attractive picture book uses Thomas Jefferson’s love of reading and collecting books as a lens through which to view the story of his life… an informative author’s note rounds out this appealing introduction to Jefferson.” —Booklist

“This unusual picture-book biography fosters a new understanding of Thomas Jefferson’s life as viewed through his love of books and its impact on our burgeoning nation… sure to be enjoyed, this is an engaging study of one of our Founding Father’s great legacies.” —Kirkus Reviews

“It is no small feat to entertain children in a book about loving books (an increasingly croweded shelf), but this duo succeeds admirably through well-chosen facts, staggering statistics, an interactive text, and humor… this is a unique portrayal of the life and passions of the third president.” —School Library Journal

“Jefferson’s well-documented obsession with books–reading, recommending, lending, gifting, and collecting–gets the picture-book treatment in this chatty biography that describes the journey of Jefferson’s collection from private stash to the basis of the Library of Congress. . .” —Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
