Omschrijving

⭐"Beautiful...concise yet engaging." --Booklist (STARRED REVIEW)

⭐ "Absorbing, exquisitely illustrated...will likely compel its audience to look at human-created illumination in a whole new light." --Shelf Awareness (STARRED REVIEW)

A richly illustrated picture book exploring light pollution and its surprising impact on nature and wildlife.

When streetlights outshine the stars, what does that mean for plants, animals, and us? This absorbing nonfiction picture book investigates artificial light and its unexpected impact on our planet. Who Hid the Stars? explores fascinating topics including:

How artificial light developed throughout history--from fire to LEDs
How city lights interrupt bird migration patterns
How streetlights gather insects--and their predators
How turtles struggle to hatch without darkness
How plant growth changes in artificial light
How humans can fight light pollution and stop it from harming nature!

With lush ink, acrylic, and digital illustrations and scientifically sound, yet approachable text, Who Hid the Stars? is a memorable way to explore conservation and biodiversity. This book will ignite children's curiosity and inspire them to take care of Earth--starting by turning out the lights.

Translated from Italian by Batchelder Award winner Sylvia Notini, Who Hid the Stars? includes a glossary of terms, a further reading list, and a link to the authors' bibliography. The browsable book is ideal for STEAM units along with Earth Day and World Wildlife Day celebrations.

Part of Eerdmans' Spectacular STEAM for Curious Readers series. The book's original edition was shortlisted for Italy's Premio Piccolo Galileo (Little Galileo Award).
