Roman mars tells the story of a boy named friedrich frobel. He spent his days in the woods, looking at trees and rocks,. wandering in the dense forests of prussia. And how frank loyd wright's son john went on to create one of the most iconic building toy sets in american history.

In the late 1700s, a young man named Friedrich Froebel was on track to become an architect when a friend convinced him to pursue a path toward education instead. And in changing course, Froebel arguably ended up having more influence on the world of architecture and design than any single architect -- all because Friedrich Froebel created kindergarten.
