The Day-Glo Brothers by Chris Barton illustrated by Tony Persiani

"The True Story of Bob and Joe Switzer's Bright Ideas and Brand-New Colors"
A story of two brothers utilizing their unique gifts and personality to create and invent.  The illustrations are sooo cool . . .in the beginning they are just black, white and gray.  Then gradually "as the brothers discover the new colors", the colors are added to the illustrations.  By the end of the book the illustrations are quite bright!!
The author includes a page on how fluorescence work and daylight fluorescence work and also how he came across the story.
