Great Minds of Science

(3) 4-6 Black Lives series. Illustrated by David Wilkerson. Readers are introduced to five Black women and four men who have made great achievements in STEM in this nonfiction comic-format series starter. In addition to including accessible biographies that span several eras and fields, the book is designed to teach kids about occupations such as civil engineer, paleontologist, and marine biologist. Each biography ends with a timeline and related facts. Source notes (including an explanation of some invented dialogue “based on facts and original sources”) are appended. Final art unseen.
