Praise for Calling All Minds:
* "An impassioned call to look at the world in unique ways with
plenty of practical advice on how to cultivate a curious,
inquiring, imaginative mind." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review
"After the interview we were all very moved and motivated by
Temple. In the beginning, we were all intimidated and we were very
nervous. But by the end, Temple made us feel like we weren't even
interviewing her, but we were talking to her and having a
conversation. . . . We think this is very true and should be shared
with everyone. We would definitely recommend this book to people
who love being creative and doing projects, but we think everyone
should really read it." --Newsday
"Part personal memoir, part historic study of inventions and
biography, and part DIY instructions, this book packs in a lot. The
result is an account of inventions and inventors and the thinking
that motivates innovation." --School Library Journal
"Mind-expanding." --Booklist
"A self-styled inventor, Grandin employs a clear, direct style. . .
. Grandin offers a nuanced perspective on the qualities of a
successful inventor--notably, a sense of wonder and curiosity,
careful observation, and the willingness to learn from mistakes."
--Publishers Weekly
