Norman Borlaug Father of the Green Revolution

Hero for the Hungry: The Life and Work of Norman Borlaug by Peggy Thomas will publish on September 1, 2022.

We are so excited to be able to share the story of Norman Borlaug with middle grade readers. His story is one of humble beginnings, true American grit, a love of science, and a passion to help the hungry.

Can pursuing science help you and your future generation? This book is sure to inspire young learners!

Sidebars include topics such as a deeper dive into the science Norman Borlaug was using to produce new and better wheat varieties, agronomy, wheat genes, stem rust, nutrients and more. Back matter includes a timeline of events and discoveries and a call to action for readers to use science to solve problems and do small things to help with hunger and food waste.

Hero for the Hungry is excellent for a science class learning about genetics, an agriculture class studying agronomy, or a history or English class looking for a well-written biography on a hero scientist.

You can preorder the book on Amazon and Barnes and Noble.
