{"product_id":"ticktock-bannekers-clock","title":"Ticktock Banneker's Clock","description":"Throughout his life, Benjamin Banneker was known and admired for his work in science, mathematics, and astronomy, just to name a few pursuits. 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":"Sleeping Bear Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47988836303037,"sku":"BS-TC0-369560","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0771\/9767\/2637\/files\/9781585369560-HD.jpg?v=1786618867","url":"https:\/\/boundigo.com\/products\/ticktock-bannekers-clock","provider":"Boundigo Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
