The ABC's of African American Inventions

The ABC's of African American Inventions is a fun and informative book which can be used for homeschooling; in traditional classroom settings; as an additional curriculum offering during Black History Month (taking time throughout the month to study the various inventions and inventors mentioned in the book); or to be given as a gift by (or to) family members.

This children's book is unique in the genre because it crosses traditional age barriers for such an offering, and while it is similar to other ABC picture books, in that you can use it to teach children the letters of the alphabet, you can also place it into the hands of children of most any elementary school grade level to stir their inventive minds and artistic abilities early on in life.

The book can also be given to middle school aged children, and even to high school students, where the idea is not simply to show them the inventions and inventors inside, but also to inspire their creativity and stimulate their young minds, when they're challenged near the end to imagine their own ideas and draw them out. The inventions that they'll draw can then be shared with their classmates and family members.

Another interesting note is that parents and educators who use this to teach younger children the alphabet or to challenge older children to dream up wonderful new ideas of their own will also enjoy what they discover in The ABC's of African American Inventions, with each irresistible turn of the page.

While most people don't start thinking about process improvements, or inventing new things until they're adults, imagine if at a young age children were to start looking at the world around them with their eyes focused on how they could improve life or create new devices? They'd be years ahead of their peers; see things in a new way, and there's no telling how such a head start might change their lives, and perhaps even ours.

This durable glossy covered 8.5" x 11" book can be saved as a keepsake to reference in the years to come, and perhaps to one day share the knowledge inside the book, along with the creations that they drew, with their own children.
