Overview: Black Tech: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow - Leaders in Technology is designed to be the first of several books in a series to help African Americans learn and appreciate more about Black participation in the development of the United States.

Verdict: Black Tech is written for first- to third-grade readers, but its content is applicable to all ages. In the book, a young narrator presents Black inventors and their unique inventions in a colorful way that catches the eye of the reader.

Some of these lesser-known inventors highlighted in the book include Gladys West, Jesse Russell, Alexander Miles, Frederick Jones, and other dynamic scientists and engineers.

Dedicated to her future self, as well as her readers, informing them all they are what they speak and what they tell themselves, and so to always speak positive, fun excitement and truths, and always lift yourself no what is going on, I think that everyone who does read this most wondrous of books will indeed - and quickly - start to embrace all of what author Theresa Merritt-Watson is suggesting we do.

For a most joyful learning comes from these pages, veritably from the very opening of the book, its collective prose of information intriguingly intermingling herself herself (the inventor) and her invention with the child who was already enjoying its modern use.

Chocked full of vibrant images that warmly guide you along the way, there is nothing that the book leaves out, whilst at the same time it never seems too heavy, too directly verbose, always welcoming and vibrantly cultured.

In closing, I think that this book should most definitely be read by children of all religions and cultures, for it would help increase their knowledge of some of the many scientific/high-tech contributions of African-American inventors. Something not always taught in schools at any age, to my mind.

About the Author - Theresa Merritt-Watson has worked as a Multicultural Diversity trainer and facilitator for George Mason University and Georgetown University. She is the author of A Guide for Teenage Parents and she is the very proud mother of six dynamic children (Rachael, Larry, Isa, Jessica, Daniel, and Doval).
