Table of ContentsReviewsThe story is fictional but the facts that have been packed in are entirely true and the pictures are simply wonderful for the way in which they manage to illuminate everything in just the right way. The physics of light is quite an advanced subject if you ever think of delving into it but, presented here for children in a picture book it is digestible and helps children begin to learn some simple science concepts. * Armadillo Magazine * Author InformationAlan Lightman is a physicist, educator, and acclaimed author for children and adults.
