Description
<p><b>Leonardo da Vinci is bursting with ideas – paintings, inventions and dreams that soar higher than the rooftops of Florence. </b><br><br>But one morning, when he frees a colourful and clever parrot named Flora from a market stall, his imagination really takes flight. Together, Leonardo and Flora fill his studio with sketches, models and marvellous machines – from roaring lions to spinning screws. Yet one idea won’t leave his mind: could a person truly fly like a bird?<br>As Flora flutters overhead, Leonardo studies her every move and sets out to build a flying machine. There are crashes, mishaps and laughter along the way, but with a little inspiration from his feathered friend, Leonardo finally discovers what it means to turn dreams into invention.<br><br>This uplifting tale of creativity, friendship and perseverance celebrates the power of curiosity, and shows that even the biggest ideas can take wing with a little imagination.<br><br><b>Also available in the series:</b><br>9781912785162 <i>Monet's Cat</i><br>9781915751256<i> Van Gogh’s Dog</i><br>9781915751546 <i>Matisse and the Runaway Rabbit</i></p>
