The Big Idea Behind the Small Screen: The Invention of the TV For Kids

di Hollis Grevan (Autore)

SD, 2025

Step back in time and discover how one of the most ordinary objects in today's world—something that sits in almost every living room—began as little more than a wild dream. Long before crisp colors and giant flat screens, there were clunky machines with spinning disks, blurry images, and inventors who refused to give up. This book takes kids on a journey through that transformation, from early experiments with light and moving pictures to the first broadcasts that connected families everywhere. Packed with true stories and fascinating details, it shows how curiosity, persistence, and imagination shaped an invention that changed the way people live, learn, and share experiences. Kids will see how radio, film, and science all came together to spark an idea that grew into something powerful enough to bring the world into our homes. They'll learn about the dreamers who dared to believe that pictures could travel, the skeptics who said it was impossible, and the excitement of the very first shows ever broadcast. Perfect for readers ages 7 to 12, this is both a history lesson and an adventure in discovery. It's a reminder that every big invention starts with a question—and that the next world-changing idea could come from anyone, anywhere.
