Young Trailblazers: The Book of Black Inventors and Scientists is a fun new book for children that teaches kids about inventions by Black people that have impacted the world through their ingenuity and trailblazing innovation.
From Black Inventors to Black Scientists. Take your child on an adventure and travel through time to meet famous black inventors who changed the game. Countdown to liftoff with Katherine Johnson, who helped pioneer U.S. crewed space missions. Safely cross the street with Garrett Morgan, who invented the traffic signal—or even sing your heart out with James West’s invention of the microphone. All of these inventions by Black people have, in one way or another, shaped the past and present through trailblazing creativity and resilience; these stories are sure to inspire every child.
Experience an array of rich Black history. In this book, there are Black scientists and Black inventors we all know, such as Lewis Howard Latimer and Sarah Boone. There are also dozens of Black trailblazers that we don’t, all of whom have accomplished remarkable things in literature, entertainment, education, STEM, business, military and government services, politics and law, activism, sports, spirituality, and more.
Inside this book of inventions by Black people, you’ll find:
A fun and engaging introduction to Black inventors for kids
Essential Black history for kids to learn about
Interesting fun facts and beautiful illustrations
If you enjoyed Black Women in Science, Black Inventors, or Black Heroes, then you’ll love Young Trailblazers.
M.J. Fievre, B.S. Ed, earned a bachelor’s degree in education from Barry University. A seasoned K–12 teacher, a creator of safe spaces, and an initiator of difficult conversations, she spent much time building up her students, helping them feel comfortable in their own skin, and affirming their identities. Her close relationships with parents and students led her to look more closely at how we can balance protecting a child’s innocence with preparing them for the realities of life. She has taught creative writing workshops to children and teens at the O Miami Poetry Festival and the Miami Art Museum, as well as in various schools in Santa Cruz de la Sierra (Bolivia), Port-au-Prince (Haiti), and South Florida. She’s also been a keynote speaker at Tufts University (Massachusetts), Howard University (Washington, DC), the University of Miami (Florida), and Michael College (Vermont) and has served as a panelist at the Association of Writers & Writing Programs Conference (AWP). M.J.’s publishing career began as a teenager in her native Haiti. She signed her first book contract at 18 years old with Hachette-Deschamps for the publication of a Young Adult book, La Statuette Maléfique. Since then, M.J. has released nine YA books in French, and she is the author of the award-winning Badass Black Girl book series for tweens and teens as well as Young Trailblazers. Kim Balacuit is an illustrator and designer who loves creating things that bring humor and joy into people's lives with bright colors and playful characters. Her background in graphic design, animation, and illustration have allowed her to work in both children's media and picture books. In her spare time, you can find her petting other people’s dogs, improving her banana bread recipe, or finding the spiciest foods to eat in the tri-state area.
