Garrett Morgan was the child of freed slaves and grew up as a share cropper. because money was tight, Garrett was very good at making what the family needed out of whatever he could find. As an adult he moved north for more opportunities and continued inventing things. Remembering a fire when he was a child, Garrett invented a breathing hood that enabled firemen to rescue people.
I do love these short biography picture books. DiCicco is a fine storyteller, presenting a concise life story that would make a great springboard to do research for a longer project. Also includes a timeline and a bibliography.
