While this biography was classified to have been written for juvenile readers, it is an excellent book to introduce any reader to this simply remarkable woman. While the book may be rated for juveniles, I hardly think the subject material would interest or be understood by any child perhaps under the age of ten. However, it does provide sufficient information for a young reader who may need to write a review on someone of repute. As a young child, Temple Grandin was diagnosed with autism. She went on to revolutionize practices for the humane handling of livestock on cattle ranches and in slaughterhouses. Over half of the slaughterhouses in use today in United States and Canada were designed by Dr. Grandin. Her struggle with autism and to be accepted by those around her, and her success as an inventor, university professor, and animal rights activist are surely inspiring for any parent whose child has been diagnosed with any one of many learning disabilities categorized today. There is also a terrific HBO movie, a 2010 biopic, starring Claire Danes as Temple Grandin which I highly recommend seeing. While the book is a little dry at times, I do recommend this book and the movie in particular to any parent who may be dealing with a child diagnosed with learning disabilities and who may need a lift.
