(2) K-3 Illustrated by Lauren Stringer. This picture book biography of Wright is sensibly limited to two themes--geometry and nature--tracing how Wright's early childhood, spent playing in forests and building with geometric blocks, was the foundation of his illustrious career. Going writes lovingly and rhythmically but avoids a tone of hero-worship. Stringer's warm, accessible pictures show Wright at various stages of life against backdrops that nod to his designs. Bib.
