But even when he was born in Maryland in 1731, he was already an extraordinary person for that time period. He was born free at a time in America when most African Americans were slaves. Though he only briefly attended school and was largely self-taught, at a young age Benjamin displayed a keen aptitude for mathematics and science. Inspired by a pocket watch he had seen, at the age of 22 he built a strike clock based on his own drawings and using a pocket-knife. This picture book biography focuses on one episode in a remarkable life.","brand":"Shana Keller","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48692493484323,"sku":"9781585369560","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0885\/5437\/3411\/files\/9781585369560_p0_v1_s600x595.jpg?v=1718544000","url":"https:\/\/glenthebookhouse.com\/products\/ticktock-bannekers-clock-shana-keller","provider":"BOOKDP4","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
