| Description | Watch this book trailer video for Joseph D'Agnese's nonfiction book "Blockhead: The Life of Fibonacci," a biography for children telling the story of famed medieval Italian mathematician Leonardo Fibonacci, with beautiful illustrations by John O'Brien. This picture book for children tells the story of Fibonacci's life, from the days when he was a young boy in medieval Italy. Young Leonardo Fibonacci thought about numbers day and night. He was such a daydreamer that people called him a blockhead. When Leonardo grew up and traveled the world, he was inspired by the numbers used in different countries. Then he realized that many things in nature, from the number of petals on a flower to the spiral of a nautilus shell, seem to follow a certain pattern. The boy who was once teased for being a blockhead had discovered what came to be known as the Fibonacci Sequence! This is a great resource to entice and encourage reluctant non-fiction book readers. |
