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!

Thank you so much for this interview about creating art for our new book! 😊🌷
Dow Phumiruk: “a storyboard is typically meant for the artist’s eyes only.It’s very, very loose & serves as an outline for composition & layout as we create the mockup. I don’t send these to the publishing team! But here it is for you.” #kidlit @dowphumiruk.bsky.social erindealey.com/book-birthda...

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.
