What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is a secular, scientific exploration of a physical phenomenon.
Ideal Reader
A 5 to 7-year-old in a big 'why' phase who has started to notice and question the world around them. This is for the child who is fascinated by their own shadow, points out sunbeams filtering through the window, or gets excited by a rainbow. It's also excellent for a kinesthetic learner who will be inspired to grab a flashlight and test the ideas in the book.
Parent Prep
No preparation is needed. The book can be read cold. However, having a flashlight nearby can enhance the experience, allowing for immediate, hands-on demonstration of concepts like shadows and blocking light. A parent hears their child ask a question like, 'Why is my shadow following me?', 'Where does light come from?', or 'How are rainbows made?' The parent is looking for a book that provides simple, accurate answers without being overwhelming.
