Description
From bestselling author and news anchor Raymond Arroyo comes the first book in the
Turnabout Tales
series—a full-color picture book biography of one of America’s most famous inventors, Thomas Alva Edison, and a story about how a small spark can create a big light. No one thought much of young Thomas Alva Edison. He couldn’t focus at school and caused trouble around the house. But where others saw a distracted and mischievous boy, his mother saw imagination and curiosity. At only seven years old, Edison was educated by his mother, who oversaw his rigorous at-home education while also allowing him great freedom to explore and dream. Those early years of encouragement and loving guidance formed the man who would apply those valuable lessons as well as his rich imagination to inventing the phonograph, the motion picture camera, the light bulb, and more. Also included is an annotated list of resources and suggested readings. 32 pages, hardcover. Ages 4 to 8.
Small moments can create big change and the
Turnabout Tales
series highlights little-known yet fascinating stories of historical figures who went from underdog to hero, and the adults who inspired them to be true to themselves and do big things that changed the world.
