Now in paperback! This charming biography about the inventor of the Frisbee follows the twists and turns of innovation, highlighting the persistence needed to succeed.

This nonfiction picture book for ages 4 to 8 teaches how one invention come to be and will encourage curious and creative minds to let their imagination soar.

Fred Morrison is credited with inventing this classic toy, but for centuries folks have been flipping for flying discs. Ancient Greeks flicked discs, and beginning in the 1920s, college kids at Yale University were tossing pie tins.

Fred's invention quest began in 1932 after tossing a tin popcorn lid around the backyard. For more than twenty years, Fred and his wife, Lu, tried and failed to perfect a flying-disc concept. Eventually they created what we know today as the Frisbee.

Fun and fact-filled, this Frisbee origin story is sure to delight sports and STEM fans alike.
