You are exactly right – there is a serious deficit of books with people of color as the main character. I have a stack at home waiting for me to write a book list. There is a book called ” Ida Twist Scientist” which the main character is a young girl of color who is a scientist, it wasn’t out yet when I wrote this list.

And you may not get this either, but … this is rather egregious, and simply not right.
Folks put girls on the cover of story books so that little girls can relate; see themselves in the character. And so why not black children, brown, yellow, and green.
A pig and a monkey get represented, and the bulk of us know that this it will never be true that they will be scientists. Kids of color don’t even make the cut. Abusrdity, yet too close to home.

As an Engineer, Physicist, and the Author, I can personally attest to the quality and educational component of this children’s book. It also has a corresponding activity kit for readers to recreate the kid friendly experiments performed in the book. The book is currently available on Amazon.com

As a mom and an engineer, I hope my kids take an interest in STEM, and books like these are a great intro. I will check these out!
