Dapo Adeola, Tracy Darnton, Joseph Coelho and Chitra Soundar are among the 19 authors and illustrators longlisted for the Inclusive Books for Child... Another similar phenomenon, called a ‘glory’, occurs on Venus (pictured) and is caused by droplets of sulphuric acid that are present in the planet’s atmosphere. Puffin started out as a non-fiction publisher, with its first title appearing in 1940. As the most iconic and well-known children’s book brand in the UK today, we are always on the lookout for innovative ways to tell the world’s favourite stories and for brilliant new debut talent and brands that connect with today’s young readers, from newborn up to twelve years old.

Mae’r cyflwyniad yn esbonio beth ydy golau a sut y mae’r llygad dynol yn ei weld, yn ogystal â’r lliwiau coch, oren, melyn, gwyrdd, glas, indigo a fioled. Mae yna adrannau ar ddu a gwyn, fflworoleuedd, is-goch ac uwchfioled, ac esboniad o sut y mae rhai anifeiliaid yn gallu gweld yn y tywyllwch. There are other beautiful optical phenomena that look a bit similar to rainbows, like glories (they require very small droplets of water in clouds and sunshine), halos, i.e. sundogs (they require ice crystals and sunlight) and some others. So looks like seeing rainbows in the Solar System is possible, though unlikely. Some exoplanets probably have the right conditions for the rainbows to form. Future ground-based and space observatories will tell us more about the orbits, structures and compositions of these exotic worlds!We’re thrilled to announce that Can You Get Rainbows in Space? by Dr Sheila Kanani MBE has been acquired by Puffin, to be published 23 rd March 2023. The book is illustrated by Liz Kay, a beautiful compendium that uses the rainbow to guide young readers through a universe of scientific facts about colour. World rights were acquired at auction from children’s agent Hannah Weatherill. Why is blood red? Why are carrots orange? Who invented the lightbulb? Why is the world ‘going green’? Is the sky really blue? And what is ultraviolet light? I am dedicated to improving the representation of girls and ethnic minorities in physics and I’m always trying to identify new ways to take astronomy and physics to underrepresented communities.” Performing some colourful experiments to find out if you can get rainbows in space with help from our resident expert Dr Sheila Kanani, author of Can You Get Rainbows in Space?. Bestselling author Alexandra Christo, author of TikTok sensation To Kill a Kingdom, introduces her new book, The Night Hunt (Hot Key Books), a dark...

And teaming up with none other than Lucy Hawking to investigate her book Princess Olivia Investigates: The Wrong Weather! Mae’r llyfr ffeithiol hwn wedi’i ddarlunio’n hyfryd mewn lliw llawn drwyddo draw, ac mae’n hynod gyfeillgar a deniadol. Bydd darllenwyr o oedrannau amrywiol yn cael eu hunain yn mynd yn ôl ato dro ar ôl tro. Along with colleague Philip Laven, Lee used a mathematical model to predict what conditions might produce visible tertiaries. First, they needed dark thunderclouds and either a heavy downpour or a rainstorm with nearly uniformly sized droplets. Under these conditions, if the Sun broke through the clouds, it could project a tertiary rainbow against the dark clouds nearby. The contrasting colors would make the dim tertiary visible.Have you ever wondered why frogs are green? Or if the sun is really yellow? Or maybe why the sea is blue? Well, this colourful science compendium suitable for KS2 may hold the answers! Rainbows welcomes all girls from 4 to 7 years old for play, learning and tons of fun in a colourful, safe space. Can You Get Rainbows in Space?: This non-fiction book explores space and science by looking at each colour of the rainbow. In addition to the confirmed photo of a tertiary rainbow, the optical treasure hunt went one step further, as revealed in another photo that shows the shimmering trace of a fourth (quaternary) rainbow.
