Edison

Reach for this book when your child is facing a daunting challenge or feels discouraged by a project that just won't work. It is an exceptional choice for the little engineer who is constantly taking things apart or the dreamer who needs to see that even the smallest voices can uncover the world's greatest secrets. Through the eyes of a persistent young mouse and his elderly mentor, the story explores the rigorous but rewarding process of trial, error, and ultimate discovery. Set against a breathtakingly illustrated backdrop of maritime history and deep-sea exploration, the book balances high-stakes adventure with quiet moments of intellectual grit. While the plot follows a quest for lost treasure, the true heart of the story lies in the intergenerational bond and the celebration of human (and murine) ingenuity. It is an inspiring read for elementary-aged children that honors the history of invention while encouraging a modern growth mindset.
