Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"A necessary, engaging book that shines a light on solar energy." — Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "A timely, informative addition to the Let’s-Read-and-Find-Out Science series." — Booklist "In concise, straightforward prose, DeCristofano introduces young readers to solar power: where it comes from and how it is harnessed, converted into energy, and used. In an even-handed discussion, she covers the environmental advantages of solar power over more traditional methods of producing electricity as well as some drawbacks (and possible solutions) to the use of solar power. Well-placed questions such as 'What happens when it rains? Or when clouds block the Sun?' ask readers and listeners to become actively involved in the narrative." — The Horn Book
