A Weed is a Flower by ALIKI
A Weed is a Flower
by ALIKI
Published by Aladdin. 1988
Our “Scientist of the Month” is George Washington Carver – American inventor. A Weed is a Flower is a bit advanced for a K2 class in November, but we did quite a bit of scaffolding. Published in 1988, and yet it was not a part of my childhood education, and I went to a reputable public school system. I didn’t learn about George Washington Carver until I myself became a teacher. I’m surprised, but grateful, it’s stayed in print, being that so much fine children’s literature is no longer in print.
