Dive in to an exciting nonfiction graphic novel series about some of the greatest Black lives in history! "Sure to delight middle graders and encourage interest in STEM careers." (School Library Journal)
This fun and accessible graphic novel for middle grade readers brings to light the lives of great but lesser-known Black scientists. Great Minds of Science is a kid-friendly introduction to some of the greatest scientists in history--doctors, engineers, mathematicians, and biologists.
Each of them faced challenges as they rose to the top of their professions, but they didn't back down. They kept experimenting and questioning and learning, and they made significant contributions in each of their scientific fields.
Black Lives is the new graphic novel series from award-winning author Tonya Bolden and illustrator David Wilkerson that celebrates the lives of Black innovators and legends and helps bring these histories to life.
Celebrate the lives and contributions of Black scientists throughout history with the inspiring Great Minds of Science.
