520 0  This collection of poems assembled by award-winning writer
       Marilyn Nelson provides young readers with a compelling, 
       lyrical account of the life of revered African-American 
       botanist and inventor George Washington Carver. Born in 
       1864 and raised by white slave owners, Carver left home in
       search of an education and eventually earned a master's 
       degree in agriculture. In 1896, he was invited by Booker 
       T. Washington to head the agricultural department at the 
       all-black-staffed Tuskegee Institute. There he conducted 
       innovative research to find uses for crops such as cowpeas,
       sweet potatoes, and peanuts, while seeking solutions to 
       the plight of landless black farmers. Through 44 poems, 
       told from the point of view of Carver and the people who 
       knew him, Nelson celebrates his character and 
       accomplishments. She includes prose summaries of events 
       and archival photographs.--Publisher information.
