On a day when it feels like winter may never end, as snow and freezing rain come together to ensure that roads and sidewalks are a slippery mess, one might well rely on the cozy comfort of their favourite earmuffs to help keep them warm. As you slip those colourful covers over your ears, have you ever wondered who invented them? Me neither, but a quirky new picture books holds all the answers you never knew you wanted. Earmuffs for Everyone: How Chester Greenwood Became Known as the inventor of Earmuffs is Meghan McCarthy’s latest non-fiction picture book, and tells the story of Chester Greenwood and his earmuffs, but it also gives a simple guide to inventing and patents. A good book for a cold day and future inventors. It may even inspire you to visit Farmington, Maine on December 21st for the annual Chester Greenwood parade.
