Project is for her to bio a famous inventor/creator. I'm so happy/excited. Given the audience and her attention span, what should I have her focus on?

Whoops, I misread and had to delete my other post. I was thinking the report was on Iwata at first. Is there any of his creations that she particularly loves? If it were me I'd focus in on some of my favorite games that he made to keep it relevant and interesting. Maybe have her talk about how he got started at Nintendo and a few games and tech he had a hand in.

I would talk about how he came up with ideas when he was a kid. Exploring led to Zelda, that sort of thing. Might be a nice topic they could relate to.

She likes Mario the most. I haven't shown her Zelda yet. The other wrinkle is that she needs to do book research and I'm not sure how many books there are on miyamoto himself.

@oldmanlight: The book by Jeff Ryan Super Mario: How Nintendo Conquered America has details on how Mario came to be and Miyamoto's involvement in the different franchises as far as I remember.

This looks like its maybe part of a series of accesible easy to read books about inventors http://www.barnesandnoble.com/p/shigeru-miyamoto-jan-burns/1111889183/2680826694447?st=PLA&sid=BNB_DRS_Marketplace+Shopping+Media_00000000&2sid=Google_&sourceId=PLGoP67945
