Glitter is so ubiquitous most of us never think much about it. The same cannot be said of Chris Barton. Author of many science themed books for small children, Barton isn't afraid to tackle huge subjects. And glitter is surprisingly complex. While of a picture book length, this book tackles: the history of glitter; the psychology of our attraction to sparkles; the science of refraction and reflection; and the danger of microplastics and the companies that are exploring alternatives. The reading level is appropriate for most elementary aged kids. While the science isn't deep it is thorough. If you love sparkles, give this one a look.
