I wanted to know the name of every stone, flower, insect, bird and beast.I wanted to know where it got its color, where it got its life-but there was no one to tell me."

-George Washington Carver

Susan Carver stood in front of her house. She watched George Carver take things out of his pockets. George had been out in the woods again, collecting things like plants, insects, rocks, frogs and a snack. Susan was happy that George loved nature. She just didn’t want George to bring all that nature into her house! Even when he was very young, George wanted to study the world outside.

Susan and Moses Carver wanted George to have a good education. But the schools near George’s house were for white children only. So when George was about 12, the Carves sent him to a school for African Amrican children. But the school was too easy for George. George decided to go to a different school so he can learn more.
