"If a good picture book does what it sets out to do, a great one sets out to do something huge and succeeds. The simple yet precise description of photosynthesis is admirable, but the broad explanation of its signifigance is exceptional. Alight with unusual intensity, the artwork fills the pages with vibrant images...each double-page spread illustrates its lines of text with intelligence and originality. An outstanding book to read and absorb." — Booklist
