Elizabeth’s Enlightening Day at the Zoo

Elizabeth is a middle-school-aged student who loves all science. Elizabeth and her friend Zahra go to the zoo with their moms. Zahra’s mom is designing a new line of nail polish inspired by colours of animals and insects at the zoo. While there, Elizabeth and Zahra see many different applications of light.

Here are a few illustrations from the book.
