“What if your body could make its own light?”

Darkness reveals a whole new world of wonder—creatures that make their own light and live anywhere you can imagine: from your backyard to deep, deep, down in the ocean.

Using a combination of simpler, poetic writing, and more straightforward information, children and parents alike can learn about the natural phenomenon known as bioluminescence.

Of special note is the art–anything luminescent, or human related, will pop off the page in bright colors, as compared to the more muted backgrounds.

A beautiful introduction to nonfiction for younger readers aged 4-8 or for a parent to share with a child.
