Gaudí : architect of imagination / Susan B. Katz, Linda Schwalbe.
"When Antoni Gaudí can't go to school like the other kids, nature becomes his teacher. Later, when he trains to be an architect in Barcelona, his headmaster wonders, is he a 'genius or a fool'? Others think he is an artistic genius who is ahead of his time."-- Page 4 of cover.

Summary
Gaudi - Architect of Imagination
Let your dreams can change the world in this Bank Street Best Book of 2023 picture book biography of architect Antoni GaudÃ! Colorful mosaics, playful flowing forms, imaginative facades--Barcelona shines with the buildings of Antoni GaudÃ. How did the son of a Catalan blacksmith become a world-famous architect? The first years of GaudÃ's life were challenging. Because of an illness, young Gaudà couldn't attend school and was often alone. Many of his days were spent out in nature, which he would later call his great teacher. Even during his training as an architect in Barcelona, his teachers were puzzled, wondering: is he a "genius or a fool?" Many considered his unusual ideas eccentric, sometimes even crazy. But Gaudà was simply ahead of his time. His buildings are now a UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) World Heritage Site. With an insightful eye into the world of an inspired genius, award-winning author Susan B. Katz tells of GaudÃ's life and work. Linda Schwalbe's dazzling and powerful illustrations reflect the inventive, daring, and flamboyant style of GaudÃ's work.
