[From jacket flaps] Set during the creation of the awe inspiring Watts Towers, Something Nice to See is a story of a young lad who has learned to read before his classmates do, causing resentment because he is different. The boy is comforted and inspired by his new friend Sam Rodia, the creator of the magical Watts Towers. Sam imparts a delightful and memorable message about being your own person, daring to be different, and loving and respecting people in spite of their differences. Replete with fanciful drawings full of the whimsy of hidden imagery, Something Nice to See is sure to enrapture children from 3 to 103. The Watts Towers of Sabato (Sam, Simon) Rodia were built single-handedly over the course of 33 years, from 1921 to 1954, without the benefits of machine equipment, scaffolding, welding, bolts or drawing boards. The tallest tower is 100 feet high. The Watts towers are a unique monument to the human spirit and to the persistence of one man?s undaunted vision.
