From New York Times bestselling author and news anchor Raymond
Arroyo comes the first book in the Turnabout Tales series-a 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, Al, as he was
called as a young child, 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. In
The Unexpected Light of Thomas Alva Edison readers will: meet the
larger-than-life personality of Thomas Alva Edison hear an
inspiring tale of an underdog overcoming all the odds learn about
the power of curiosity and imagination take a carefully researched
and actively told romp through history The Unexpected Light of
Thomas Alva Edison includes: an annotated list of resources and
suggested reading realistic illustrations by artist Kristina
Gehrmann an author's note by Raymond Arroyo, the author of the
bestselling The Spider Who Saved Christmas 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.

Hot Planet offers young readers the perfect, non-alarmist
introduction to Earth's climate change crisis Climate change is a
new reality in today's world. From melting ice caps to forest
fires, climate change is responsible for dramatic freak weather
events and Earth is now warmer than it has been at any point in the
last 650,000 years. Hot Planet aims to raise readers aged nine and
up's awareness of the challenges of climate change in a
non-alarmist, yet realistic, way. It explores what climate change
is, what is believed to cause it, its current impact on the world
and what might happen in the future if it progresses at current
rates. It also highlights the social inequality of climate change,
as richer and more industrialised countries contribute far more
heavily to climate change through their energy consumption, yet
poorer, less developed nations are currently much more affected by
it. The book looks ahead at how we can all help combat the climate
change crisis, from global changes such as investing in sustainable
energy sources to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, to green
schemes such as carbon pricing, to practical solutions such as
eating less meat and using public transport or cycling, rather than
driving. The author, Anna Claybourne, is an award-winning science
writer.
