Synopsis

This is a unique book: the only children's book about Andrew Carnegie's incredible life! Beautifully illustrated, with fact panels at the end, readers learn how Carnegie emigrated from Scotland to the US with his poor family. Through hard work, an agile mind and access to books, the tough industrialist rose to become one of the richest men in the world. Using his money for good, he built over 2500 libraries , funding 650 in the UK and Ireland alone. His legacy lives on, as his foundation is still giving away his money today!

À propos de l'auteur

Andrew Larsen is the author of several books for young children, including See You Next Year. He lives in Toronto, Canada, which has seven Carnegie libraries. On one of his walks, he passed an old library. He noticed an historical plaque explaining how the library had been built with money from a Carnegie grant. Curious, Andrew investigated further: when he read about the amazing life of Andrew Carnegie, he wanted to share it with young readers.
