Part of Tundra's Great Idea Series, All Aboard! Elijah McCoy's Steam Engine is an ideal biography for young readers. Monica Kulling tells the remarkable story of Elijah McCoy, the son of escaped slaves whose dreams led him to study mechanical engineering in Scotland, learning everything there was to know about designing and building engines. 

When he returned to the United States, the only job he could find was shoveling coal into a train's firebox. Undaunted, he went on to invent a way to oil an engine while it was still running, changing the face of travel around the world. With playful text and lively illustrations, this is a biography that will whet a young reader's appetite for many more.
