Overview

"Frank Lloyd Wright, Zaha Hadid, and Rem Koolhaas band together to build the ""perfect birdhouse"" for their newfound friend--a wayward Rufous-Sided Towhee named Feathers Wing. Along his way, Feathers interacts with Mies Van Der Rohe, Le Corbusier, and Louis Henri Sullivan, while striving to find a dwelling with a difference.

A unique blend of fiction and nonfiction (a concluding Reference chapter supplies some relevant ""real"" information about architecture and architects) ""The Adventures of Frankie Lloyd Wonder: A Bird's-Eye View of Architecture"" has all of the ingredients for a fun tale with role models, teamwork, compassion in helping others, and, most of all, developing a strong appreciation for creativity. * for readers in Grades 4 - 6"
