Summary

"Meet Beulah Louise Henry, a girl with a knack for problem-solving who grew up to be a world-famous inventor, in this captivating picture book biography. When Beulah Louise Henry spotted a problem, she fixated on it until, AHA! She had a hunch. That's what Beulah called the inventions she came up with to solve the problems she saw all around her. Beulah's brain worked differently. She had hyperphantasia, which meant she saw things in extreme detail in her mind, as well as synesthesia, which caused words and numbers and even music notes to show up as different colors in her brain. Beulah's unique way of seeing the world helped her think up vivid solutions to problems-her hunches were fully formed with gears whirring and wheels spinning. When Beulah grew up, she had a hunch for a new & improved parasol. She worked on a patent and prototype, and her parasol became a huge success! From there, Beulah went on to invent everything from cuddly stuffed animals to ice cream makers to factory machinery, earning the nickname "Lady Edison." And it all started with a hunch!"--, Provided by publisher
