Prolific #PictureBook Professionals banding together to celebrate the joy and inspiration of #kidlit's slimmest works of art.
History is full of weird but true stories! Lindsay Metcalf & Edwin Fotheringham do a fantastic job sharing this one with young readers. I particularly like Fotheringham's visualization of the court debate. Unique. Age appropriate. Fun to read!

The other cool surprise at the Corning Museum of Glass is that they feature both Making Light Bloom AND The Stuff Between the Stars! This is because they have Clara Driscoll's lamp AND the lens created for the Palomar Observatory, where Vera Rubin worked.
