Discovery Biography: George Washington Carver

• Paperback book
• Luxurious 80lb glossy paper
• 71 pages

As a young teen, George Washington Carver set out alone to pursue an education, carrying little more than his treasured collection of stones and bible. No one could have guessed that this quiet, determined boy would become a beloved teacher, a pioneering scientist, and a man whose work with crops like the peanuts would strengthen communities and foster greater understanding between Black and white Americans. His students at Tuskegee loved his classes, his kindness, and the way he transformed scrap materials into a working laboratory.

This biography is part of the Discovery Books, the first adventurous, historically accurate series written especially for children in grades 2–4. Fast-moving and accessible, each title offers a lively first introduction to remarkable lives. Originally edited under the supervision of Mary C. Austin, Ed.D. of Harvard University and tested with the Spache Readability Formula, the books feature more than twenty three-color illustrations. 

We are working on an Open Dyslexic version of this book and hope to have this record updated soon with that option.
