by Sheila Kanani (Author), Liz Kay (Illustrator)
What color is a polar bear under its fur? How do flamingos turn pink? What is a blue moon? Find the answers to all these fun questions and much more in this fact-filled adventure into the colorful world around us!
The science of colors is hard at work all the time--from ultraviolet light to the baby blue tint of the sky. Readers will learn tons of interesting scientific facts about color and its whys and hows--like why blood is red, how hippos keep cool, and how some animals can change color to hide from predators. Bursting with incredible illustrations and some seriously cool science, this book is sure to dazzle both nature lovers and reluctant readers alike.Dr. Sheila Kanani became interested in space and astronomy at the age of thirteen, and her passion skyrocketed from there. She has a PhD in planetary science and her favorite planet is Saturn. Her favorite "work" interests are teaching GCSE Astronomy and giving public talks to audiences of all ages and sizes while representing her place of work, the Royal Astronomical Society, which she adores.
Outside of astronomy, Sheila loves to play hockey and the saxophone. Sheila's love of writing began when she was nine and she started a daily journal, which she has kept (mostly) up to date ever since! Liz Kay's illustrations can be found everywhere from maps to magazines to murals. When she's not busy doodling, she enjoys outdoor adventures of her own, including hiking, biking, and tennis.Made with care and unconditionally loved by our customers, this signature bestseller exceeds all expectations.
