Glow By Jennifer Smith

Written and illustrated in minute detail by medical illustrator Jennifer N. R. Smith, ‘Glow’ takes readers on a magical journey to the deepest ocean trenches, through winding networks of caves and into the darkest corners of the forest to experience the wonder of bioluminescence. The first in a series of non-fiction children’s books exploring natural phenomena, ‘Glow’ introduces readers to creatures that glow in the dark. It also celebrates the scientists and deep-sea explorers who, at great personal risk, have travelled to the ocean floor to study bioluminescence. Combining natural history with STEM, ‘Glow’ considers how bioluminescence works and what we can learn from it, including ways to prevent climate change and tackle pollution. Printed using UV printing techniques, the illustrations appear luminous on the page, making for a truly awe-inspiring reading experience.
