Far and wide"
What a gorgeous visual study of the lights that brighten our world! The perceptive phrases are paired with brilliantly colored and effective images of the kind of light that makes days brighter, celebrations more meaningful, wild weather more awe-inspiring.
Readers will hear the well-chosen, meaningful language while letting their eyes wander over the spreads that show families awakening, watching storms, basking in sunsets, appreciating the beauty of the northern lights, setting candles in celebration, pursuing fireflies, dancing in the moonlight, and celebrating with fireworks.
The families are as diverse as the light sources themselves. The action follows four children from these families as they explore and rejoice in the beauty that light brings to their world. The combination of rhyming lines and richly patterned illustrations is a treat for both eyes and ears.
In backmatter the author provides a spread about the science of light and offers further information on lightning, rainbows, the Northern Lights, fireflies, and moonlight. A further note includes the various cultural celebrations and holidays that have been included.
