| Publisher Description: Meet Maria Montessori and discover the story of her life and work in this engagingly illustrated biography--narrated by Montessori herself. Maria Montessori believed in the creative potential of every child--and she developed a brand-new approach to education, building on the way children naturally learn. Now, her methods, which won her three Nobel Peace Prize nominations, are practiced around the world. This fascinating biography shows how Maria, an avid reader, defied gender norms by earning a degree in physics and mathematics, became one of the first women physicians in Italy, and revolutionized educational theory--experimenting and refining to discover what worked best. |
