About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when their child points at the sun, a flashlight, or a glowing lamp and starts asking the big 'how' and 'why' questions about where that brightness comes from. It is perfect for those moments of quiet wonder during a morning walk or when a child notices how the sun warms their skin, providing a bridge between everyday observation and scientific fact. This guide introduces the bright basics of light as a form of energy using simple language and vibrant visuals. It explores how light travels and how we can measure its power, fostering a sense of joy and gratitude for the natural world. Designed for preschoolers and young elementary students, it transforms complex physics into an accessible adventure that builds both vocabulary and confidence in STEM subjects.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is a purely secular, direct approach to physical science.
Ideal Reader
A 4-year-old 'mini-scientist' who is constantly asking why the sun is hot or how a bulb works. It is perfect for a child who enjoys non-fiction over narrative and likes to identify objects and concepts in the real world after reading about them.
Parent Prep
This book can be read cold. Parents might want to have a flashlight or a prism handy to demonstrate the concepts mentioned in the text immediately after reading. The parent just heard their child ask 'Where does the light go when we turn it off?' or noticed their child experimenting with shadows and reflections.
