I appreciate the message shared by the author and the illustrations by Jennifer Leban are amazing! I am happy to stumble upon this text and can't wait to spend time looking up all the names that are unknown! This is a work of art and a book everyone should read! Grateful for the opportunity... I am better because of it!

With each turn of the page, you will travel along with McKenzie to learn more about the history of people of color, from brilliant minds and brave actions, to achievements and accolades, to moments throughout time where dreams became reality.

This book can motivate children to continue to work hard towards becoming the person they wish to be when they grow up. McKenzie’s Time Machine shows that it is absolutely possible to reach your dreams. Just a wonderful book to read over and over again.

There’s so much to do with this book! I really like the vocabulary, connection to history, and how the ancestors were classified according to their acknowledgments. The book is great to read aloud to young readers and easy for them to understand. There’s even a space on the back of the book for children to write what they would like to be when they grow up.

I read it with my 11 year old daughter and 8 year old son and we all loved it! My kids were inspired by the stories of courage and exploration. My daughter loved how it illustrated all that each of us can be. My son loved hearing stories about the history of math and science. Something engaging for everyone! Highly recommend!

Not only did he enjoy the content of the book, but he enjoyed the illustrations as well. This book is so important for our Black and Brown children to read as it shows different contributions of our people throughout history. Awesome read!!
