Building Zaha: The Story of Architect Zaha Hadid by Victoria Tentler-Kaylov - ESSENTIAL

Building Zaha: The Story of Architect Zaha Hadid by Victoria Tentler-Kaylov. NONFICTION PICTURE BOOK. Orchard Books (Scholastic), NOV 2020. $19. 9781338282832


BUYING ADVISORY: EL – ESSENTIAL; MS - ADVISABLE


AUDIENCE APPEAL: EL, MS - AVERAGE


Zaha Hadid was born with her fascination for architecture.  Breaking stereotypes, she forged her own path to be able to design ground-breaking buildings all over the world – including being the first woman to design a museum in the US.


Fairly text dense for a picture book, but even though it is a PB, I am glad to see another focus on a woman who has contributed to the world in unique ways. Even MS can use this if they integrate bios of women amongst their varied unit themes.
