Excellent For Younger Kids,
By Sheltonite "Sheltonite" (CT United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: George Washington Carver: Man's Slave Becomes God's Scientist (Sower Series) (Paperback)
I bought this as a gift for my niece last Christmas. It was admittedly an attempt to expose her to other cultures and achievements. The best compliment was paid as she described the book to her teacher, who asked that she bring this in to read it to the class. I read this and its a good explanation of a brilliant man who thrived in his time. A good read for kids of any background.

Inspirational for youth,
This review is from: George Washington Carver: Man's Slave Becomes God's Scientist (Sower Series) (Paperback)
Great book, I highly recommend adults read with youth and discuss. I thought the ideas contained in this book were very positive and overall very appropriate for motivating young minds. I look forward to reading more from the author and sharing it with the youth that I come in contact with.

Excellent Biography Told From First Person Point-of-View,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: George Washington Carver: Man's Slave Becomes God's Scientist (Sower Series) (Paperback)
Having worked in education as a Librarian for so long, I have come to expect my students to complain when a Biography is assigned for their book report. My son, despite being an avid reader, falls into that same category when it comes to book reports. So, when I came across this Biography told in first person, I decided to purchase it for him to try and avoid the "fight" of making him read and write down what he has learned. Thankfully, I succeeded in finding the perfect story for him. He quickly finished the book in one day and entertained my husband and I with stories about George Washington Carver. Reading the book for myself, I was pleased to find that it didn't gloss over George Washington Carver's life, but took my son in-depth on what made George Washington Carver the person he was and how he contributed to society. The harshness of slavery and the sadness of segregation was discussed from the viewpoint of a person who experienced it first-hand. Instead of being a stated fact, it became a story gloriously woven to open the eyes of my son to the realities of the past. My son was led through George Washington Carvers childhood, successes, failures, accomplishments, education and finally his death and final words. The book now sits in my library happily entertaining the rest of my students when they check it out for their biography book reports.
