Recensioner i media

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.
