Lois 's Reviews > Yvonne Clark and Her Engineering Spark

This is a high-quality audiobook production with a musical soundtrack and narrated by Melinda Sewak. I love the soft ragtime/jazz feel of the soundtrack. It's fun and I think helps to get kids excited about the story.

This is primarily a biography of engineer Yvonne Clark. Yvonne is compared to a superhero living in your own neighborhood. What I find the most interesting is that Yvonne managed all of this in the 1930s, which is the height of the Jim & Jane Crow Era. This isn't addressed in the book because the story is kept at kid appropriate levels.

The musical soundtrack plays throughout the entire story. It plays lightly in the background and works to enhance rather than detract from the story.

This story is perfect for grade school-aged children. This has the feel of a Black History Month selection. I highly recommend this educational and fun story.

Thank you to Allen R. Wells, Macmillan Audio, and NetGalley for the opportunity to listen to and review this audiobook. All opinions and viewpoints expressed in this review are my own.
