Alan Lightman is a physicist, educator, and acclaimed author
for children and adults. His debut picture book, Ada and the
Galaxies, illustrated by Susanna Chapman, was published by MIT Kids
Press in 2021. He is also the best-selling author of Einstein's
Dreams. Alan Lightman has a PhD in theoretical physics and is a
professor of the practice of humanities at MIT. He lives in
Massachusetts.
Ramona Kaulitzki is the illustrator of many books for
children, including Winter Lullaby by Dianne White and the #1 New
York Times bestseller Sisters First by Jenna Bush Hager and Barbara
Pierce Bush. When she’s not illustrating, she can be found
somewhere outdoors or at the riding stable. Ramona Kaulitzki lives
in Potsdam, Germany.
This simple but effective introduction to portions of the
electromagnetic spectrum is physicist Lightman’s second
science-inspired book for children. As in Ada and the Galaxies
(2022), co-written by Olga Pastuchiv and illustrated by Susanna
Chapman, he emphasizes the wonders that science can reveal, nicely
ending his narrative with Isabel wondering about other invisible
things. . . . Invisibly and effectively instructive.

Softly rendered digital art not only sets a playful tone but offers
plenty of hints about light and prisms to find before and after
reading, from streaming sunlight to stained-glass windows to
rainbows in confetti, cakes, and Isabel’s birthday posters. . . . A
charming, breezy introduction to STEM basics.
