This is one of those non-fiction picture books that leaves me wanting to know more. Was he truly this generous with his funds? Was he a secular philanthropist or did a love for Jesus and His generosity spur Carnegie on to doing the same? My mind asks questions like these. 🙂
The back includes some more info on his life and depicts famous places today that were originally built by him. For example, I had no idea that the Brooklyn Bridge was built with steel from his company.
Overall, this was a good read with no content concerns.
