Two New Children’s Books Arrive Just in Time for the Holidays

Just in time for holiday shopping, children’s book authors Emberli and David Pridham have introduced two new titles from their established book collections, If Not You, Then Who? and A Real-Life Fairy Tale.

The releases offer young readers two distinct experiences: a time-travel adventure exploring the history of inventions and an illustrated introduction to the life and legacy of Queen Elizabeth II.

Who Turned Off the Lights? Introduces a New Chapter Book Adventure

The husband-and-wife writing team has released Who Turned Off the Lights?, the first chapter book in a new adventure series from the creators of the award-winning If Not You, Then Who? collection.

The story follows Brooke, Noah, Graham, and Lily Sparks, four children with the extraordinary ability to travel through time.

Their latest mission takes them to 1880, where they discover that their enemy, Emperor Entropy, has interfered with history by preventing Thomas Edison from inventing the electric light bulb.

With the future at risk of being left in darkness, the Sparks children must find a way to restore one of history’s most influential inventions.

The book builds on the series’ focus on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), encouraging young readers to explore how inventions shape everyday life.

Readers can discover the new chapter book and other titles at IfNotYouBooks.com.

Queen Elizabeth’s Story Joins A Real-Life Fairy Tale Collection

Emberli Pridham has also expanded her A Real-Life Fairy Tale series with a new children’s book celebrating Queen Elizabeth II.

The illustrated story introduces young readers to Elizabeth’s journey from childhood as a princess to her historic reign as Britain’s longest-reigning monarch.

Through age-appropriate storytelling, the book highlights the values of service, compassion, perseverance, and leadership that shaped her life.

The latest release joins a collection featuring influential women, including Princess Diana, Grace Kelly, Jacqueline Kennedy, and Catherine, Princess of Wales.

Each book introduces children to the personal stories and accomplishments of women who became internationally recognized figures.

The Queen Elizabeth title and other books in the collection are available through ARealLifeFairyTale.com.

Both releases offer families new additions to their holiday reading lists, with stories designed to encourage curiosity and introduce children to important moments and figures in history.
