Born a slave, he became a leading scientist.

This is the inspiring story of the pioneering African-American teacher, scientist, and artist. Carver is perhaps best known for his scientific work with peanuts and sweet potatoes (and for inventing peanut butter!), butÂ Time magazine also called him the "Black Leonardo" for his painting. Adler tells ofÂ Carver's work at the Tuskegee Institute with Booker T. Washington, hisÂ hard childhood, and his determination to learn despite many obstacles,

A man of deep faith, Carver worked throughout his life to create scientific discoveries that would improve the lives of Southerners--especially African Americans.Â

The colorful illustrations show Carver in all stages of his life and give children insight to Carver's world.
