Reviews
"Readers meet a forward-thinking woman whose name ought to be widely known but isn't. Sarah E. Goode was born a slave, the daughter of a skilled free carpenter who 'could build anything.' Sarah acquired her father's woodcraft skills, and, after emancipation, she moved to Chicago, met and married African-American stair builder Archibald Goode, started a family, and realized her dream of owning her own furniture store. Working alongside Archibald, she fashioned a piece of furniture that would make efficient use of space for her customers whose big families were crammed into small living quarters. A desk by day, Sarah's cabinet bed unfolded into a bed at night. Her first attempt to secure a patent failed because others had already patented components of her design, but with some legal help and revisions to her application, she received the patent for her cabinet bed in 1885, becoming the first African-American woman to be granted a patent. The succinctness with which Kirkfield tells this story emphasizes Goode's drive to succeed despite obstacles. The illustrations, which have a smooth, digital patina, show her strength and resolve to build something that was both aesthetically pleasing and functional. The presence of her children also suggests that she passed her skills on to them. An author's note provides further historical context and explains a patent. Sarah Goode: a name well worth knowing and celebrating."--Kirkus Reviews, "Sarah E. Goode, who was among the first African-American women to receive a patent, began her life as an enslaved person: 'Before the Civil War, Sarah obeyed her owner. Hurry up. Eyes down. Don't speak.' Following the Emancipation Proclamation, Goode moves to Chicago, where she marries a stair builder, has children, and opens a furniture store. Necessity is the mother of invention: when families approach her seeking furniture for small spaces, Goode conceives 'a new kind of bed that folded up when it wasn't being used,' Kirkfield writes. After designing and building a successful prototype--a bed that folds into a cabinet--Goode faces another hurdle: seeking a patent approval as a woman of color, a feat she achieves. Ewald illustrates the story's people and objects elegantly using shadow and light. Kirkfield's back matter offers a timeline and additional biographical information on this tenacious, innovative inventor. Ages 8-9."--Publishers Weekly, "A great addition to biography and history collections, this title offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of a little-known trailblazer."--School Library Journal, "After designing and building a successful prototype--a bed that folds into a cabinet--Goode faces another hurdle: seeking a patent approval as a woman of color, a feat she achieves."--Publishers Weekly
