“With these two
books, Advance Publishing launches its new ‘Another Great Achiever’ series,
featuring the life stories of America’s great achievers.
In George Washington Carver, What Do You See? we learn about one
of our country’s greatest scientists.
Born a slave during the Civil War, rejected as a student because he was black,
Carver triumphed because of his burning thirst for knowledge—and his ability to
see the extraordinary in ordinary things.
“Although Abraham Lincoln never experienced the racial
discrimination Carver did, his life was marked by personal tragedy and political
setbacks. As a child, he lost his
mother; as a parent, he lost all but one of his four sons.
As a politician, he often seemed washed up. But as the 16th president of the United States, he became one
of the most influential leaders in American History.”
