Living through two world wars and forced to flee her native Italy, Montessori spent her life traveling the planet, tirelessly observing and understanding children. In a world rife with inequality, she was convinced that education was the key to creating a better place and achieving peace. This graphic novel is the product of years of research, travel, and passion.
