What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is a straightforward, secular scientific exploration of a natural phenomenon.
Ideal Reader
This is for a curious 5 to 7 year old who is just beginning to ask observational questions about their environment. They might be fascinated by their own shadow, intrigued by reflections in puddles, or delighted by rainbows. It's perfect for a child who thrives on clear facts and visual learning over narrative storytelling.
Parent Prep
The book can be read cold. However, for a more interactive experience, a parent could prepare by having a flashlight, a mirror, and a clear glass of water handy to demonstrate the concepts of shadows, reflection, and refraction in real time as they appear in the book. The parent's child has just asked a question like, "Where does my shadow go at night?" or "How does a lightbulb work?" The parent is looking for a simple, accurate, and engaging resource to answer these first scientific inquiries without overwhelming them.
