What Color is My World?
by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Raymond Obstfeld
Did you know that
African-American
inventors had a hand in
everything from the
ice-cream scoop and the
refrigerated food truck to
cortisone cream and
open-heart surgery?
In this book, co-authored
by NBA star Kareem
Abdul-Jabbar, kids can
learn about the great
minds behind important
inventions, product
improvements, and
scientific and medical
discoveries that we take
for granted.
