Is the Sky Always Blue? - Paperback

by Talin Kaloustian (Author), Janice Prey Wolfe (Illustrator)

Kids love to ask why things are the way they are. But a lot of adults don't have an answer to one of their most common questions: why is the sky blue?

It turns out, there's some pretty complicated science that goes into making our sky the color it is! Everything from wave lengths and dipoles to the Rayleigh and Mie light-scattering principles come into play. Is the Sky Always Blue? simplifies that complex science for young minds. Using clear, easy to understand language and bright, engaging pictures, the book gives every child the answers they've been waiting for.

A little Glow-of-Light, the narrator, walks kids through the science at play in our atmosphere, explaining why the sky can be so many different colors from the time we wake up until the end of the day. The beautiful artwork and charming story will have even the least scientific kid rattling off the secrets of the sky. Meanwhile, a glossary digs into the scientific terms behind the phenomenon, providing age-appropriate insight for every child and their parents.
