A beautifully illustrated picture book telling the amazing life story of Scottish born Andrew Carnegie, and his legacy of over 2500 public libraries. Rising from poverty to fabulous wealth, he built his first library in Dunfermline, Scotland - his birthplace. His life and philanthropy is simply narrated in language suited to 5-9 years
This is a unique book: the only children's book about Andrew Carnegie's incredible life! Born in Scotland, he emigrated to the US with his poor family. Through hard work, an agile mind and access to books, the tough industrialist rose to become one of the richest men in the world. Using his money for good, he built over 2500 libraries around the world, funding 650 in the UK and Ireland. His legacy lives on, as his foundation is still giving away his money today!
