three-stars

Follow an exuberant photon as it explains its role in how we see and use light. This has propulsive energy, thanks to bright, sweeping illustrations and rhyming text, so it would be a good one to read out loud in a light unit for younger grades. There is a glossary that helps round out a narrative that is high on momentum but falls a little short on explanations.
