Newbery Honor Book National Book Award finalist Coretta Scott King Author Honor Book Boston Globe-Horn Book Award Flora Stieglitz Straus Award Beautiful verse explores agricultural scientist George Washington Carver's life and many achievements, from his work as a botanist and inventor to his unsung gifts as a painter, musician, and teacher. George Washington Carver was determined to help the people he loved. Born a slave in Missouri, he left home in search of an education, eventually earning his master's degree. When Booker T. Washington invited Carver to start the agricultural department at the all-black-staffed Tuskegee Institute, Carver truly found his calling. He spent the rest of his life seeking solutions to the poverty among landless Black farmers by developing new uses for soil-replenishing crops such as peanuts, cowpeas, and sweet potatoes. This STEAM biography reveals Carver's complex and profoundly devout life.

Each Marilyn Nelson book one reads is simply another literary masterpiece for children. She gives a stunning portrayal of Dr. George Washington Carver in her book and captures his dignity, humility, and intelligence. I learned so much about a man who most people only associate with sweet potatoes, peanuts, and plants. She introduces to us an artist, writer, friend, God-centered man with other beautiful character traits. After finishing this book, you will never view Carver in the same way. You cannot have a collection of children's books without adding Marilyn Nelson on the shelf. That would be a tragedy for literature.
