Cleonardo's father is an inventor. So was her grandfather, her great-grandfather, and all the great-greats before them. Cleo wants to be an inventor too. She tries to help her father in his workshop, but he never uses her great ideas. So Cleonardo — with the help of Leonardo, her grandfather — decides to make her own invention. She thinks it's wonderful, but will others think the same — especially her dad?
This imaginative story of a father and his daughter brings the magic of creativity to little inventors everywhere. Kids will love the vibrant setting, in an old town nestled at the foot of a forest-covered hill, and sympathize with Cleo's desire to prove herself, especially to the person whose opinion matters most. With a timeless message about perseverance and creativity, this book is sure to inspire would-be inventors of all ages.
