This friendly, fun biography series focuses on the traits that made our heroes great--the traits that kids can aspire to in order to live heroically themselves. Each book tells the story of an icon in a lively, conversational way that works well for the youngest nonfiction readers and that always includes the hero's childhood influences. At the back are an excellent timeline and photos. This book features I. M. Pei, the award-winning Chinese American architect whose projects include the John F. Kennedy Library and the pyramid at the Louvre. Included is a pop-up of the Louvre to help young readers see the space and Pei's design in 3D!

From School Library Journal

K-Gr 3—Celebrated Chinese American architect I.M. Pei's prophetic given name, Ieoh Ming, means "to inscribe brightly" in his native language; his unique perspective would make him one of the most notable designers of his era. Meltzer, telling Pei's story through a first-person narration, shows how his early life in China with his artist mother and banker father modeled very different perspectives of life. These influences along with an excellent education, distinguished advisors, and determination, defined his long not only is string_containing liferough his architecture but by his philanthropy, mentorship, and patriotism as well. Eliopoulos's detailed illustrations portray cartoonlike characters set in authentic settings depicting some of the structures Pei designed: the pyramid entrance to the remodeled Louvre in France, the Museum of Islamic Art in Qatar, and the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library in Boston. The age-appropriate content is delivered in both narrative text and speech bubbles. Some of Pei's famous quotes are integrated within these bubbles. The book's back matter includes additional facts, a time line, sources, and further reading.
