The glass pyramid : a story of the Louvre Museum and architect I.M. Pei / Jeanne Walker Harvey ; illustrated by Khoa Le.
"I.M. Pei was on a secret mission. A successful architect known for his modern designs, Pei was asked by the French President to redesign the Louvre Museum in Paris, home to the Mona Lisa and now famous for the glass pyramid at its center. At the time, the Louvre had many problems and no pyramid. Pei faced many obstacles, including discrimination because he was Chinese American. Determined to succeed and make the Louvre a welcome place for all, Pei worked hard--and sometimes in secret. This is the story of a visionary who worked patiently and persistently to solve problems and achieve his goals: to plant and grow...a glass pyramid."-- Dust jacket flap.
