Product Description

The story of sweet success behind the Hershey's Kiss! The invention of America's beloved milk chocolate bar is brought to vivid, delicious life in this STEAM picture book biography ideal for fans of Mr. Ferris and His Wheel and Snowflake Bentley.
Hershey's milk chocolate is an iconic American chocolate bar. But in Milton Hershey's time, chocolate was mostly a luxury for the very wealthy. Milton grew up in poverty and was familiar with hunger. When he got a job washing dishes in an ice cream parlor, he realized how much joy sweets brought to people--and how much he enjoyed bringing joy to others.
Throughout his career, Hershey encountered numerous setbacks, yet he ultimately perfected the formula for milk chocolate. Here was a chocolate that was tasty, had a long shelf life, and could be offered at a price accessible to communities across America and beyond. And here was a business that could provide fulfilling lives in a welcoming town and education for those who couldn't afford it.
Ideal for the chocolate enthusiast, aspiring inventor, and science-experiment-loving young reader, this biography illustrates that determination and resilience can lead to remarkable achievements.
