Posted review on Worldcat.org on 9/23/2010
Plot summary: this is a story about George carver who had a great imagination and made many things from his inspiration. This book explains how he was a great man, a unique man. It follows his life growing up in slavery and then the first African American to go to college in Iowa State.
Personal Response: I found this to be an inspiring book to read. It really moved me and grabbed my attention. It makes me feel like I can achieve anything that I set my mind to. The illustrations in this book are historical artifacts, and actual photographs that follow this man’s life.
