Description: Newbery Medalist Tae Keller's debut picture book is a resplendent account of humankind's relationship with our most precious resource: the sun.

Brief description: Tae Keller is the Newbery Medal-winning and New York Times best-selling author of When You Trap a Tiger, Jennifer Chan Is Not Alone, and The Science of Breakable Things. She lives in Seattle, Washington.

Review Quotes: Full-bleed illustrations, both informative (such as the depiction of the first solar home) and bold (as shown in the extraction of oil), enhance Keller's compelling, poetic text in this, her first nonfiction picture book. Wada's use of light (symbolically bursting across the pages as ideas are born) and dark (showing pollution and stagnation) further complements the narrative.-- "The Horn Book Magazine (starred review)"
