One day, a little boy came home from school with a letter in his hand, which he gave to his mother, saying: "My teacher asked me to give you this letter... but only to you."
Her mother opens it, reads it in silence… then her eyes fill with tears.
She then took a deep breath and read the letter aloud to her son: "Your son is a genius. Our school is too limited for him, and we cannot afford to provide him with the education he deserves. Please educate him yourself."
Touched by his plight, she decides to homeschool him.
Years pass. The boy grows up… and becomes one of the most brilliant inventors of his century.
He will offer the world the electric light bulb, the phonograph, the telegraph, the camera, and much more.
