Synopsis This LIT CIR Science biography pack includes 3 titles (6 books): The doctor with an eye for eyes: The story of Dr. Patricia Bath - As a girl coming of age during the Civil Rights Movement, Patricia Bath made it her mission to become a doctor. When obstacles like racism, poverty, and sexism threatened this goal, she persevered — brightening the world with a game-changing treatment for blindness! The secret garden of George Washington Carver - The inspirational story of George Washington Carver and his childhood secret garden is brought to life in this picture book. Whoosh!: Lonnie Johnson's super-soaking stream of inventions - A love for rockets, robots, inventions, and a mind for creativity were present in Lonnie Johnson's early life. Growing up in a house full of brothers and sisters, Lonnie demonstrated persistence and a passion for problem solving that became the cornerstone of his career as an engineer and his work with NASA. But it is Lonnie's invention of the Super Soaker water gun that has made the most memorable splash in popular culture.
