Peter Sis wrote this amazing Caldecott award winning book about Galileo Galilei. This book has amazing illustrations and a great story. It tells the truth of how Galileo grew up and what he accomplished in his life.

This B Caldecott winning picture book employs the artist's lens to give us an extraordinary view of the life of Galileo Galilei. The author tells his story in language as simple as a fairy tale, in pictures as rich and tightly woven as a tapestry, and in Galileo's own words, written more than 350 years ago and still resonant with truth. This could be used well an AS and with UDL 3.3 and ESOL 29.
