Columbus

I am fasting coming to respect and truly enjoy these picture books from Demi, although I am discovering there are tons of them and they seem to come from all sorts of different publishers. This book is a picture book biography with lots of text and information about the man we know as Christopher Columbus, it was interesting and stood out odd to me thinking of him as Christopher to find his siblings all with very Italian names, and it was at the same moment my husband was telling me the trivia of his real name an italian version of it. This book is gorgeous that cannot be debated. But what is really neat is how this book seems to give more details than I have ever really known about his life from the beginning and early childhood until the day he dies. This book allows a reader to follow along his entire American adventure back and forth across the ocean eight times and then even in death seemingly four times. Columbus by Demi is not just positive or just negative, but a good measure of both showing a truth about the man and how he did some evil things but also found a great power to lean his life toward in remorse, or at least that is the story that I read in the pages. It seemingly is the truth about history in general. There are many terrible things and events that changed our world and got us to where we are, but the bad often works in times for things that are good. I enjoyed this one and I look forward to reading more biographical books from Demi in the future.

Thanks to Amazon Vine for providing a copy for review.
