The Day-Glo Brothers by Chris Barton

The Day-Glo Brothers by Chris Barton

A discovery that made the world a brighter place

Joe and Bob Switzer were very different brothers. Bob was a studious planner who wanted to grow up to be a doctor. Joe dreamed of making his fortune in show business and loved magic tricks and problem-solving.

When an accident left Bob recovering in a darkened basement, the brothers began experimenting with ultraviolet light and fluorescent paints. Together they invented a whole new kind of color, one that glows with an extra-special intensity--Day-Glo.

This cover reproduction is not printed with Day-Glo colors. The actual book, however, is printed using three Day-Glo colors: Saturn Yellow, Fire Orange, and Signal Green.

Chris Barton is the author of the critically acclaimed nonfiction picture books Dazzle Ships and Whoosh! For The Day-Glo Brothers, he received a Sibert Honor, and for All of a Sudden and Forever, he received an Orbis Pictus Recommended. Chris and his family reside in Austin, Texas.
