"A picture book biography of Steven Spielberg, the celebrated filmmaker"-- Before Steven Spielberg made films, he watched them. Naturally inventive with a vivid imagination, he was known for creating stories inspired by the world around him. Films and the magic they contained became an escape from the bullying and antisemitism he received, and from tension in his parents' marriage. Baretta captures the unique ways Spielberg's memories influenced his career and helped him become a celebrated filmmaker. -- adapted from jacket Provided by publisher.
