General Note
SAMPLE TEXT: George Washington Carver loved studying plants. He showed farmers how to grow sustainable crops. That helped them farm better and eat better. He also found that hundreds of things could be made from peanut plants. Growing peanuts helped farmers earn money. In Carver's time, life was hard for many black people in the United States. They did not have the same rights as white people. Carver felt that this was wrong. He used his ideas about farming to help change people's lives.

Published Reviews
Horn Book Review
This biography for emerging readers provides a chronological account of Carver's life, from his birth into slavery to his contributions to agriculture, science, and education. The narrative cursorily touches on obstacles faced by African Americans at the turn of the last century. "In His Own Words" boxes spotlight quotes from Carver himself. Captioned photos and illustrations help break up the serviceable text. (c) Copyright 2017. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
