Overview
George Washington Carver spent his life asking questions and looking for the answers. He gained a reputation as the farmers' best friend. He taught farmers about crop rotation, which meant instructing them to grow peanuts and sweet potatoes to "rest" their soil between cotton crops. What could they do with all those peanuts? Carver developed more than three hundred peanut-based products including milk and printers' ink. He also invented more than a hundred ways to use sweet potatoes. A section at the back of this book shares some of his recipes. Biographer Barbara Kramer entertainingly educates readers with her narrative about this modern marvel.
