Arthur Dorros views being a writer like being a traveling
detective. He finds ideas all around. He learned Spanish while
living in Latin America, and many of his stories, such as Abuelo,
grow from those experiences. Arthur is the author of many books for
children, including Julio's Magic, a CLASP Am�ricas Award Commended
Title; Pap� and Me, a Pura Belpr� Honor Book; and the popular
Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science book Ant Cities. He lives in
Seattle, Washington.
"Accompanied by NASA photographs and Dorros's colorful, lively drawings, the text explains the Earth's rotation in clear and simple terms. An experiment using a lamp as the 'sun' further clarifies the principles introduced." -- Booklist
