About Peggy Thomas

I am the author of more than 25 books for children and teens. I write both fiction and nonfiction, but have to confess that I love the thrill of finding a fascinating true story that kids have not heard yet. It is like uncovering a gleaming gem in a mineshaft.

I learned the art of children's writing watching my mother Margery Facklam, author of more than 40 books, as she typed at the kitchen table while my 4 brothers and I played with Play-doh.

When I am not writing or researching a book, I like to visit schools and talk to kids about books and writing. I also enjoy throwing pots on a pottery wheel, singing with my husband in the Middleport Community Choir, and spending time with my kids, Kate and Dan. We have two dogs, Lily and Bertie, and 6 cats - Roy, George, Gracie, Charlie, Leo and Tig. Visit me at my website: www.Peggythomaswrites.com

A NSTA/CBC Best STEM Book

Famous car-maker and businessman Henry Ford loved beans. And he showed great innovation with his determination to build his most inventive car--one completely made of soybeans.

With a mind for ingenuity, Henry Ford looked to improve life for others. After the Great Depression struck, Ford especially wanted to support ailing farmers. For two years, Ford and his team researched ways to use farmers' crops in his Ford Motor Company. They discovered that the soybean was the perfect answer. Soon, Ford's cars contained many soybean plastic parts, and Ford incorporated soybeans into every part of his life. He ate soybeans, he wore clothes made of soybean fabric, and he wanted to drive soybeans, too. Award-winning author Peggy Thomas and illustrator Edwin Fotheringham explore this American icon's little-known quest.

Farmer George Plants a Nation 12 Sep, 2014

by Peggy Thomas, Layne Johnson

( 30 )

₹1,375.98

This picture book for older readers focuses on George Washington as farmer, inventor, and scientist. Infused with excerpts from George's letters and diaries, the narrative makes a convincing case for Washington's place as the nation's First Farmer. He invented a combination plow-tiller-harrow, tested different fertilizers, and bred donkeys and horses to create strong mules. His goal to make Mount Vernon self-sufficient carried over to his goal to make the new country independent. Layne Johnson's richly colored oil paintings portray the Colonial era with fine details. The book includes a timeline of Washington's life; shares his views on slavery, and includes a bibliography of additional reading materials and websites.
