You Are Light

by Aaron Becker

Book Overview

With a wondrously simple die-cut book, the Caldecott Honor-winning creator of the Journey trilogy brings his talents further into the light.

This is the light that brings the day.

Open this beautiful book to find a graphic yellow sun surrounded by a halo of bright die-cut circles. Now hold the page up to the light and enjoy the transformation as the colors in those circles glow. In an elegant, sparely narrated ode to the phenomenon of light, Aaron Becker follows as light reflects off the earth to warm our faces, draws up the sea to make the rain, feeds all the things that grow, and helps to create all the brilliant wonders of the world, including ourselves.

Stunningly beautiful exploration of color and light

The die cut circles glow when held up to the light. The colors change and overlap to reveal fascinating different combinations with each turn of the page. The poem is simple, short, and sweet. I also appreciate the sturdy construction that will hold up to my little one’s curiosity. Highly recommend this as an addition to your library for kids of all ages.
