NIGHT BECOMES DAY: CHANGES IN NATURE

A Golden Kite Award national finalist and Bank Street College of Education Best Book of the Year!

The world around us is always changing, but do we see it? Whether small or big, slow or quick, transformations are happening. Ocean waves shift beaches, rivers carve canyons. Caves form. Volcanoes erupt. Deserts bloom. Sparkling snowflakes fall from the sky. As night becomes day, flowers become fruit… and the cycles continue.

Lyrical text and stunning photographs invite readers to explore the beauty and power of nature.

Great for grades preK-3. A back section shows older readers how nature’s changes relate to biology, geology, and physics.
