Black Excellence

Good Book

Very informative! This book has a lot of information that your child will enjoy reading.

My students are having a blast reading about these brilliant Americans beyond the designated Black History month! Great read, thanks.

Very good read for a black and Hispanic household; very helpful for the kids to challenge themselves to aspire for greatness

We added this book to our bedtime reading list during Black History Month, and my 8-year old loved it. He actually discussed Ernest Everest Just in class after learning more about him from this book.

I bought this for my 6 year old as there were hardly any books that his school had based around the achievements of people from ethnic minorities. In order for children to aspire to be great, they need to be able to connect with great things! This is a great book! It not only breaks down in easy to digest language the kind of science these scientists specialised in, it also describes the early years of the scientists, how they started out, what their backgrounds, families, educations were like and where their love of science came from. It is a great inspiration for many and holds a wealth of knowledge. A worthwhile purchase indeed for ALL races, libraries, classrooms and homes!

Good read.

je suis très content d'avoir acheter ce livre, c'est vraiment facile a lire très très contente

I am the mother of four adopted African children and always looking for good role models for them. Since it is hard to find books for children in Spanish about black people that have done great things I buy them in UK. This is a great collection of books with some black people that have an impressive life full of courage and hard work. Far from the mostly bad role model presented on TV shows. It gives my children a great push to be who they want to be. There are a lot of books in Spanish abut adoption, children's stories about multiculturalism, etc... But I just wanted biographies of real black heroes! This book in particular has men and women in it so it is perfect!

This book is very interesting and shows what Black people in society have achieved in Science and it is good to show all children of all races and cultures that it is not just white people who are famous scientist there is black people who are also famous scientist and prevents discrimination and bias stereotypes within schools, the community and environement. I am very impressed with this book and it is a book that I have read to my daughter when she was a young child.
