Going Up! Elisha Otis's Trip to the Top by Monica Kulling illustrated by David Parkins*

This book shares the life of Mr. Otis as a child into his adulthood.  It reveals the necessity of hard work, critical and creative thinking, and perseverance to experience success.
Mr. Otis invented a brake for elevators and made it possible for  skyscrapers to be built.
Love the illustrations by Mr. Parkins-expressive.
Part of a series "Great Idea Series".
*Highly recommend.
Pair with:
Electrical Wizard
Mr. Ferris and His Wheel
