At the age of seven Jean-Francois Champollion was already intrigued by Egypt. As he grew, he continued to be passionate about Egypt and vowed to decipher the hieroglyphs and visit this mysterious land. He fulfilled all of his dreams but he died at a young age.
I liked how the author zooms in on Jean-Francois' passion and persistence.
I read this aloud to my boys as part of our study of Ancient Egypt.
The illustrations resemble Monet or French impressionist.
