Description
Leo Fender loved to think and tinker and take things apart and put them back together again. When he lost an eye in a childhood accident, he refused to think of himself as broken. With a pair of magnifying glasses, Leo got back to doing what he loved.
Quick Summary
A one-eyed kid who loved taking apart radios grew up to build the guitars that rock legends still swing around their necks today, proving that different doesn't mean broken. Kids will root for young Leo as he refuses to let his accident stop him, using clever magnifying glasses and relentless curiosity to tinker his way into creating the instruments that changed music forever. If your child loves picture book biographies about determined inventors and underdogs who tinker their way to greatness like "The Boy Who Loved Math" or "Hello, Universe," they'll be totally hooked. Perfect for kindergarten through third graders who devour true stories about people who never gave up and built something incredible.
