Thomas Jefferson Builds a Library by Barb Rosenstock

Thomas Jefferson Builds a Library by Barb Rosenstock

As soon as Thomas Jefferson learned to read, he found his passion: books, books, and more books Before, during, and after the American Revolution, Jefferson collected thousands of books on hundreds of subjects. In fact, his massive collection eventually helped rebuild the Library of Congress--now the largest library in the world. Barb Rosenstock's rhythmic words and John O'Brien's whimsical illustrations capture Jefferson's passion for the written word as well as little-known details about book collecting. Author and artist worked closely with experts to create the first picture book on Jefferson's love of reading, writing, and books. An author's note, bibliography, and source notes for quotations are also included.

Barb Rosenstock, an Orbis Pictus Honoree, grew up in a rural area south of Chicago. Barb married and raised two sons who were huge fans of picture books, so she read a lot of them. While pursuing a master's degree in education, she began writing for children.
