1. At sunrise, Leonardo da Vinci stood beside a hill and watched a hawk balance on a branch. He opened his notebook before the bird flew away.
2. Then Leonardo knelt beside a stream. He drew the water curling around a leaf, because a small ripple could reveal a big secret.
3. In his workshop, Leonardo studied a woman’s face. He noticed how one tiny line could make a smile look ready to bloom.
4. Leonardo wanted to build wings for people. He tied wood, cloth, and cord into a strange machine, but it sagged like a tired umbrella.

8. Leonardo watched birds, water, faces, and machines, then filled notebooks with art and inventions far ahead of his time.
