Each entry will include the book cover picture, a brief overview, bibliographic information, and suggested uses for families, librarians, and teachers. We will categorize books in several different ways, to facilitate searching.

PUBLISHER:   Candlewick Press            PUBLICATION DATE: 2012

BRIEF OVERVIEW: An information book that gives you facts about amazing black inventors. An interactive book with flaps inside, make this book a joy to read and provides so much information that relates to our present and future.
INTEGRATED ACTIVITY: I would have my students choose one of the inventors from the book or other black inventors that were not mentioned and do a presentation on their person for the class. If it is someone from the book share new information that we cannot find in the book.
