Originally published on my blog: Nonstop Reader.
Glow in the Dark: Nature's Light Spectacular is a science based book highlighting natural phenomena. Due out 19th May 2020 from Quarto on their Wide-Eyed Editions imprint, it's 24 pages and will be available in hardcover format.
This is a beautifully illustrated and engaging book aimed at young readers with panorama views of natural light shows such as rainbows, aurora borealis, lightning, and more. Each of the 2 page spreads includes info about the science behind the phenomena explained in accessible age-appropriate language.
I've been banging on for years on my blog (and real life) about STEAM subjects and how vital they are for our future. This book would make a great choice for a classroom library, gift for a young science interested reader, library activity reading group, or similar use.
5 stars (and the physical book comes with a glow in the dark poster as well).
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.

This book is SO COOL! As an adult, I'm pretty sure I could look at it for hours. Each page of this breathtakingly beautiful book shows a different natural light phenomenon, including Aurora Borealis, solar and lunar eclipses, glowworm caves, firefall, and others. Each phenomenon is given a case study of a part of the world where the phenomenon is likely to occur (e.g. firefall in Yosemite National Park, the Aurora in Norway, etc). Again, this book is just so beautiful I couldn't get enough of it.
