When a young brother and sister meet their family’s handyman, their fun adventure in learning begins! Roger Edward Mital knows all there is to know about the great African-American scientists and inventors, and the more he tells, the more the kids want to know. Alongside the delightful story, fold-out flaps on nearly every page contain drawings and biographical profiles of each inventor—from Dr. Henry T. Sampson (the gamma electric cell) to Dr. Charles Drew (the blood bank) to George Crum (potato chips)! Plus, colorful picture strips tell the stories of race car driver Frederick McKinley Jones and others. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and company bring little-known history to light in this entertaining and informative picture book. Ages 9-12.
