"Light is beautiful and educational... I wouldn’t hesitate to give it as gift or keep it at the front of the bookshelf” - Physics World
This exciting non-fiction picture book introduces young readers to the spectacular science of light.
Light is the extraordinary energy that illuminates our world. It is essential for life on Earth – it powers plants, keeps us warm and helps us to see. From the award-winning author of Nano, comes a fascinating narrative introduction to science of light – and the cutting-edge ways we use its energy to build a better world.
With words by Dr Jess Wade – a highly skilled physicist and trailblazing campaigner for diversity in STEM fields – and beautiful, dynamic pictures by award-winning artist Ana Sanfelippo, this is the perfect book for budding young scientists and engineers.
The language is clear, the sentences are simple, and there is a flow to the narrative that makes up for the lack of a story. Wade makes the science relatable for children by bringing in real-world examples . . . and throughout, Sanfelippo’s gorgeous illustrations fill the pages . . . I think it’s safe to say that Wade can add another success to her list of many accomplishments. Light is beautiful and educational, and personally, I wouldn’t hesitate to give it as gift or keep it at the front of the bookshelf. * Physics World *
