Description

The dazzling Ray illuminates how light works--part of the Science Pals series, including Drop: An Adventure through the Water Cycle and Puff: All About Air

Meet Ray. He's light! And he's been shining since time began. Wherever there's life on Earth, there's Ray, helping everything under the sun thrive. And Ray can really move--fast. Have you ever hurtled through space? Become a rainbow? Made food for plants? Ray has! With brilliant wit and sparkling one-liners, Ray introduces readers to a light show like no other. Filled with awe-inspiring artwork, funny asides, and a spotlight on kid-enticing facts, Ray invites us to bask in his warmth, as he illuminates our world.

Critical Reviews

"[Emily Kate] Moon brings the same refreshing combination of charm and solid fact [to Ray] that animated her profiles of water (Drop) and air (Puff) . . . . In the vivid illustrations, bursts of light brighten deep seas and underground layers to demonstrate energy's reach, storage, and continual flow, as well as the planetary surfaces, where light plays an essential role in making food for all. . . . A high-wattage spotlight on our most important power source." --Kirkus
