An enchanting picture book about the joyful, mysterious, awe-inspiring
messages of light, whether emanating from a firefly or the sun,
fireworks or the Big Bang, boats at sea or a bolt of lightning, a movie
projector or a rainbow. Luciana Navarro Powell's illustrations follow a
group of kids through a magical day and evening in a seacoast town,
while Christine Layton's lyrical text explores the natural history of
light. Backmatter provides further adventures in the science of light.
