Who Invented That? African American Inventors is an inspiring children's book that introduces young readers to the brilliant minds behind inventions that changed the world.
Through the curious journey of Kennedy and Tiffany, children discover how African American inventors helped shape everyday life - from the traffic light and improvements to the light bulb, to groundbreaking medical advancements and even the Super Soaker water gun. As they explore each story, they learn that inventors are problem solvers, dreamers, and creative thinkers who make the world better.
This book is more than history - it is about confidence, representation, and possibility. When children see inventors who look like them, it reminds them that their ideas matter and their dreams are powerful.
Written by Keasha Rodgers, a child care professional with over 25 years of experience and a former Head Start director, this book was created with purpose and heart. Her passion for early childhood education and literacy shines through every page.
Perfect for classrooms, libraries, and family reading time, this story plants seeds of curiosity, pride, and innovation.
The next great inventor might be reading this book right now.
