| book description |

Celebrate 50+ geniuses who broke barriers, took risks, and changed our world forever! While these scientists, engineers, and more came from different backgrounds and overcame unique struggles, they had one thing in common: they would not take ""You can't"" for an answer. With a don't-give-up attitude, these fearless firsts fought for what they believed in and created a better world for all of us. In this book, you'll read about people you might have heard of before, like George Washington Carver and Amelia Earhart. You'll also discover the first scientists to figure out how dinosaurs went extinct, the man who brought the yo-yo to the U.S., and the first blind person to use sound to study space. You'll meet the first American woman to program a computer, the first Black person to earn a patent, and the first Latina to be the U.S. Surgeon General. By the time you're done reading, you'll be inspired to stay curious, solve hard problems, and be fearless in whatever you do!
