Grades K-3 This lively book introduces solar energy, its technology, and its many uses. The process starts when light hits a solar panel. As the child-friendly text explains, When sunlight strikes this glass, its electrons flutter. . . . They jiggle and jostle, like kids fidgeting in a line, passing the Sun's energy from one electron to another. It's one long shiver of energy. It's electricity! After mentioning the environmental impacts of traditional power plants, DeCristofano acknowledges problems connected to solar energy and the efforts of engineers to solve them. The book also discusses some of the many applications of solar energy technology, including powering solar cookers, race cars, household electrical equipment, and a plane flying nonstop around the world. Cheerful and colorful, the digital artwork shows diverse people globally, depicts women as engineers, and provides helpful cross-sectional views of traditional and solar power plants. An appended, age-appropriate activity uses simple equipment and techniques to demonstrate the power of focused sunlight to melt an ice cube. A timely, informative addition to the Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science series.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2018, American Library Association.)
