The Day-Glo Brothers: the True Story of Bob and Joe Switzer's Bright Ideas and Brand-New Colors. Written by Chris Barton and illustrated by Tony Persiani.
Ah, Day-Glo: favorite color scheme of the groovy '60s. It was a surprise to learn from this new biography that the creation of Day-Glo paint dates back to the 1930s. Young brothers Bob and Joe Switzer created the famed colors through their hobbies of magic and chemistry, using materials from their father's pharmacy (as well as their mother's kitchen mixer, which led to an unfortunate fluorescent angel-food cake incident). The eye-popping colors of Day-Glo burst from the pages of this perfectly designed picture biography. Put on your sunglasses and enjoy!
