Full of beans : Henry Ford grows a car / Peggy Thomas ; illustrated by Edwin Fotheringham.

Thomas, Peggy, 1960- (author.). Fotheringham, Ed, (illustrator.).

Summary:

"With a mind for ingenuity, Henry Ford looked to improve life for others. After the Great Depression struck, Ford especially wanted to support ailing farmers. For two years, Ford and his team researched ways to use farmers' crops in his Ford Motor Company. They discovered that the soybean was the perfect answer. Soon, Ford's cars contained many soybean plastic parts, and Ford incorporated soybeans into every part of his life. He ate soybeans, he wore clothes made of soybean fabric, and he wanted to drive soybeans, too. Award-winning author Peggy Thomas and illustrator Edwin Fotheringham explore this American icon's little-known quest."--Amazon.
