A 2020-21 Scripps National Spelling Bee "Great Words, Great Works"
Book Selection "A luminous tribute to a remarkable woman who carved
out an independent and creative life of her own design." -Foreword
Reviews, starred review "An engaging introduction to
Lamarr..."-Booklist, starred review Hedy Lamarr wasn't just a
famous Hollywood actress. She was also an important inventor! In
one of the first books written for children about the amazing life
and work of actress and inventor Hedy Lamarr, and one of the final
books written by Coretta Scott King Honor and Christopher
Medal-winner Jan Wahl, readers will be entranced by all that Hedy
accomplished on and off the big screen. In chapter-picture book
style, Hedy and her Amazing Invention teaches kids about the
pioneering scientific work and inspiring courage of Hedy Lamarr,
the famous Hollywood actress who fought against old-fashioned
parents, a domineering husband, prejudice, and stereotypes to
become an accomplished inventor whose work helped pave the way for
many of the communications technologies we enjoy today, from Wi-Fi
to GPS to signal-blocking devices. Through collage-work
illustrations and accessible text, Wahl and Wallace provide context
to the concept of Lamarr's most famous invention with fun and ease.
This story is for anyone looking for an uplifting biography about a
fearless 20th century woman who knew her worth and was determined
to utilize all of her talents to make the world a better place. The
first book in Penny Candy's Amazing Women series.
