Meet twenty extraordinary Black scientists, inventors, mathematicians, and physicians in this engaging coloring and learning book - designed for curious young minds ages 4 to 7.
From traffic-signal inventor Garrett Morgan to NASA mathematician Mary Jackson, from blood-bank pioneer Dr. Charles Drew to astrophysicist Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson, each hero comes to life on a beautifully illustrated full-page portrait paired with two kid-friendly "Did You Know?" facts that answer the questions little learners actually ask.
Inside the book:
- 20 large-print portraits of trailblazers in science, technology, engineering, and medicine
- Easy-to-read facts written for early readers and read-aloud time
- Pages designed for crayons, colored pencils, and markers
- Educator-friendly format that supports Black History Month, classroom enrichment, and at-home learning year-round
Featured heroes include Garrett Morgan, Charles Drew, Lewis Howard Latimer, Benjamin Banneker, Granville T. Woods, Lonnie Johnson, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Daniel Hale Williams, Otis Boykin, Percy Julian, Mary Jackson, Dorothy Vaughan, Alice Ball, Jane Cooke Wright, Kimberly Bryant, Euphemia Lofton Haynes, Shirley Ann Jackson, Aprille Ericsson, Gladys West, and Rebecca Lee Crumpler.
Whether your young reader is just discovering coloring or already curious about how things work, Black Scientists & Inventors turns Black history into a hands-on creative experience - the kind that builds vocabulary, sparks dinner-table conversations, and plants the seed that brilliance can look like them.
A perfect gift for parents, grandparents, teachers, and librarians who want to nurture curiosity and confidence at the same time.
