Tiny Stitches: The Life of Medical Pioneer Vivien Thomas by Gwendolyn Hooks

4.0

This beautifully illustrated non-fiction book about a medical pioneer shows a telling story of incredible brilliance alongside incredible racism. Vivien Thomas invented several tools and techniques that doctors still use today at a time when black people were disregarded. He worked hard and long to improve lives and not until recently was he honored with recognition. This book does a lot to show what he did and how he dealt with the problems he had.
