Praise for Starring Steven Spielberg:

“Scenes from a famous director’s childhood…. Panoramic, colorful, action-packed spreads give the book a cinematic feel…. Educational and entertaining.”—Kirkus Reviews

“Budding film buffs gain insight into the work of Steven Spielberg….Opening with Spielberg’s early experience as a moviegoer in the 1950s, the book shines a particular spotlight on the way that experiences from his youth, ranging from anxiety to his parents’ divorce, shaped his sensibilities as a director.”—Publishers Weekly
Congratulations Gene!
