Please consult our group leader information for guidance on taking part in shadowing.


The importance of the sun as a life-giver and energy provider is brought vividly to life in this clever and accessible picture book.  Kaleidoscopic colours and collage show how energy is transferred across food chains across night and day. There’s a textural quality to illustrations which feels almost tactile and use of light is spectacular. Animals are depicted in highly expressive ways. It builds a world that visually shows the poetry of science whilst also allowing space for words.  A living, breathing celebration of nature.
