This is a lovely book for young readers and even adults. It is written for young children, but the photography in the book is beautiful and as an adult, I appreciated the images and even layout of the photos. The author and photographer(s) blended their work together beautifully. Its lessons on change are evident by both word and picture and I was really impressed by the book overall.

I learned so much from Night Becomes Day! What a beautifully illustrated testament to the wonders of our world in the form of nature's mysterious transformations. I especially love the fonts and sizes of words to help the concepts stand out. Congratulations, Cynthia and your crew!
The author has a glossary to go along with this book on her website:

Argentine's Night Becomes Day is a lovely, informative book about natural transformations taking place on the earth. The photographs are beautiful, and the description of these wonders will engage and inspire student learning. Night Becomes Day would be appropriate for multiple reading levels covering picture books to elementary science studies. This book would greatly benefit from the addition of a glossary. Words such as ancient, intense, glacier, magma, cavern, spires, etc., should be included. Self-motivated younger readers might not comprehend some of the words used in the scientific descriptions found in each section and would benefit from having those words defined. A glossary would also enable teachers and parents (especially homeschoolers) to assign further study of the information presented.

This is an excellent enrichment book for elementary kids highlighting all of the ways the natural world transforms itself. It touches on botany, chemistry, meteorology, geology, and more with striking pictures to illustrate.
As a bonus to the natural principles explained, the language is also rich and evocative. There's a sneaky lesson in onomatopoeia, comparisons/contrasts, and expressive words delivered right along with the science.
The main text that accompanies the illustrations is simple and fairly surface-level, but there's a nice section at the end that expands on each concept in more depth for curious readers.
This would be a wonderful addition to an elementary classroom or school library!
Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review!
