Fallingwater: The Building of Frank Lloyd Wright's Masterpiece
In Bear Run, Pennsylvania, a home unlike any other perches atop a waterfall.

This book guides young readers through Wright's process designing Fallingwater, from his initial inspirations to the home's breathtaking culmination. It is a exploration of a man, of dreams, and of the creative process; a celebration of potential. Graceful prose and rich, dynamic illustrations breathe life into the story of Frank and Fallingwater, a man and home utterly unlike any other.
