From the Publisher
Handsome oil paintings enliven this picture book biography about the little-known inventor who inspired the phrase "the real McCoy." Young readers meet Elijah McCoy and discover how he invented the lawn sprinkler, the rubber heel on a shoe, and more. "A striking introduction to one of the first and most successful African-American inventors." --Booklist, starred review.
