Book Reviews of Heart Man: Vivien Thomas, African-American Heart Surgery Pioneer (Genius at Work! Great Inventor Biographies)
Book Review: Who should you be like? Be like Vivien Thomas.
Summary: 5 Stars
Calm, sedate, methodical, trusted, valued - that is the Vivien Thomas of this book. Your young scientist will learn a lot about self-control, courage, perseverance, and dignity from this biography.
Our aunt was a blue baby and was saved by open heart surgery, surgery pioneered by Thomas, so this story is personally meaningful for us. Stay true to yourself and you can do big things for others. What a great book!
