The Crayon Man: The True Story of the Invention of… door Natascha Biebow
The illustrations are vibrant and fun, and I'm a sucker for books that give you scientific and historical context at the same time.
Well done children's book that brings to life one of the pioneers in the world of crayons. The story brings to life the cousins who worked to perfect a new wax crayon--the Crayola, made by Binny and Smith-- and sell it to children The last part of the book illustrates how Crayola crayons are made. Many good references at the end for further reading. Read out of interest in my own family who built The American Crayon Company and were rivals of Binny and Smith.

Enjoyed this read about how crayons came to be. I do remember the thick ones we used, trying to hold them in our tiny hands and actually using them.
I have two sets of 8 colors only in my arsenal for when I am designing some colorwork for knitting items. Get out my graph paper with the grid lines and magic happens.
Such a fascinating read.
