"Meet Beulah Louise Henry, a girl with a knack for problem-solving who grew up to be a world-famous inventor, in this captivating picture book biography. When Beulah Louise Henry spotted a problem, she fixated on it until, AHA! She had a hunch. That's what Beulah called the inventions she came up with to solve the problems she saw all around her. Beulah's brain worked differently. She had hyperphantasia, which meant she saw things in extreme detail in her mind, as well as synesthesia, which caused words and numbers and even music notes to show up as different colors in her brain. Beulah's unique way of seeing the world helped her think up vivid solutions to problems-her hunches were fully formed with gears whirring and wheels spinning. When Beulah grew up, she had a hunch for a new & improved parasol. She worked on a patent and prototype, and her parasol became a huge success! From there, Beulah went on to invent everything from cuddly stuffed animals to ice cream makers to factory machinery, earning thenickname "Lady Edison." And it all started with a hunch!"-- Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

Premise/plot: Picture book biography of Beulah Louise Henry. Chances are you've never heard of her, I certainly hadn't. But she was a MASTER inventor earning the nickname "Lady Edison." The back matter elaborates just how many patents she had and some of her inventions. (To name a few, she invented dollies that open and shut their eyes and gave dolls voice boxes. But that's just the smallest fraction of what she thought up.)
My thoughts: I learned so much from reading this one. I love to learn from children's books. I do. Sometimes I'm familiar with a subject, sometimes it's completely new. This falls into the completely new category. But if someone wanted to do a historic take on Shark Tank as an educational program, she'd keep popping up and making appearances. This does make me curious how many hundreds--if not thousands--of 'untold' stories there are out there. ( )
