About This Book
Handsome oil paintings enliven this picture book biography about the little-known inventor and engineering pioneer who inspired the phrase "the real McCoy." "Glow[s] with pride and achievement." — Kirkus ReviewsAbout the Authors or Illustrators
Wil Clay never really considered working in children's books until 1989, when author Jan Wahl visited his Toledo studio and asked him to illustrate a book. The two produced the popular Tailypo! and later collaborated on Little Eight John, which received the Coretta Scott King Honor Award in 1993.
