Inventions to count on : a celebration of black inventors / by Dana Marie Miroballi ; illustrated by Sawyer Cloud.

Miroballi, Dana Marie, (author.). Cloud, Sawyer, (illustrator.).

Summary:

"From ice cream scoopers to extendable fire truck ladders, the inventions of Black innovators have changed history. Through playful art and rhyming text, readers follow a bustling modern family as they get ready for a beloved relative's 100th birthday. Woven into their activities are ten inventions that positively impact their daily lives-and ours! Both a clever counting book and a celebration of Black history, Inventions to Count On shines a light on forgotten pioneers like Alice H. Parker, who received a patent for her innovative home furnace design, as well as famous inventors like James West, who developed the tiny microphones used in current cell phone technology"--book jacket.
