This stunning volume introduces elementary readers to bioluminescence and biofluorescence, using accessible language to explain how and why various organisms make their own light. Vibrant images allow readers to journey through woods haunted by fox fire, soar high with fireflies that punctuate a summer nights sky, and dive deep to view the myriad creatures that illuminate the oceans depths. Boxed text encourages critical thinking about Earth's incredible biodiversity and the behaviors and chemistry of living things.
