Discover all the amazing complexities of light with this detailed text by physicist & STEM communicator Dr. Jess Wade and colorful illustrations by Ana Sanfelippo.

A delightful exploration of the science of light for any and all budding scientists. The author does a really good job of explaining how light works and how it affects almost every aspect of our world, while still being approachable for young audiences. I loved the main character and her dog on each page, it was a nice visual cue to look for when the topic would change.
