A basic portrayal of the life of Benjamin Franklin is told in the 32 page graphic novel written in Spanish.  Many of the highlights of his life are described in text boxes, within conversations, and detailed illustrations.  At birth, his father thought he would be a minister, however Franklin became many things: a printer, an inventor, a Patriot, and a statesman.  He was one of the most influential people during his lifetime and the results of many of his experiments and ideas remain today.  The artwork of Gordon Purcell and Barbara Schulz  reflects the clothing styles, jobs, and artifacts from the 1700s.  The text contains a good basic introduction to the life and wisdom of one of the most significant people in our country’s history.  This book is also available in English.  The expected glossary, reference sites, bibliographies and index are found in the back.
