Can You Get Rainbows in Space?: A Colourful Compendium of Space and Science

Product Information

The facts are both fun and informative and illustrations by Liz Kay take the reader right through a vibrant colour palette and are so visually stimulating for a young reader. Colourful fonts, quirky captions and short, nicely divided paragraphs make the book lively and engaging to read and dip in and out of repeatedly.

Real attention has been paid to design and layout, which match and illuminate Dr Kanani’s eye-opening text. It’s an absorbing information book, accessible and stimulating. The ingredients required to make a rainbow are sunlight and raindrops. Currently, there is no other planet known to have liquid water on its surface or in sufficient quantities in the atmosphere to make rain. However, other liquid droplets could refract sunlight and spread it out into its component colours, just as water droplets do on Earth.
