BUYING ADVISORY: EL - ADVISABLE

While we know George Washington Carver from the peanut, he did so much more than that. Baretta gives us a peek into Carver's childhood and how he taught himself about plants and their care. We follow him up through adulthood and challenges because of his race - Carver was never daunted by the roadblocks in his way.
I always enjoy Frank Morrison's illustrations. And Baretta does a nice job of presenting a wider picture of Carver's life and struggles. Good for a Black History lesson, scientists, agriculture, or even Post-Civil War America. Carver is Black former slave.
