Earmuffs for Everyone!: How Chester Greenwood Became Known as the Inventor of Earmuffs

As a young boy, Chester Greenwood went from having cold ears to becoming a great inventor in this nonfiction picture book from the acclaimed author-illustrator of Pop! and Daredevil.

When your ears are cold, you can wear earmuffs, but that wasnâ€™t true for Chester Greenwood back in 1873. Earmuffs didnâ€™t exist yet! But during yet another long and cold Maine winter, Chester decided to do something about his freezing ears, and he designed the first pair of ear protectors (a.k.a. earmuffs) out of wire, beaver fur, and cloth. He received a patent for his design by the time he was nineteen, and within a decade the Chester Greenwood & Company factory was producing and shipping â€œChampion Ear Protectorsâ€ worldwide!

But that was just the beginning of Chesterâ€™s career as a successful businessman and prolific inventor. In this fun and fact-filled picture book you can find out all about his other clever creations. The Smithsonian has declared Chester Greenwood one of Americaâ€™s most outstanding inventors. And if youâ€™re ever in Maine on December 21, be sure to don a pair of earmuffs and celebrate Chester Greenwood day!
