Reach for this book when your child starts noticing the way sunlight bounces off a puddle or when they are endlessly fascinated by your shiny set of keys. This foundational STEM guide provides the vocabulary necessary to transform a toddler's natural curiosity into a scientific observation. It explores the concept of light reflection through high-interest, everyday objects, helping children categorize the world around them. Beyond just teaching definitions, the book fosters a sense of pride as children learn to 'name' the properties of their environment. It is perfectly pitched for preschoolers and early elementary students who are moving from purely sensory play into more structured thinking. By the final page, your child will have a new lens through which to view their toys, the kitchen, and the great outdoors, turning a simple walk into a scavenger hunt for luster.
