Why is blood red? Why are carrots orange? Who invented the light bulb? Why is the world 'going green'? Is the sky really blue? And what is ultraviolet light?

You will discover the answers to these questions - and many others - in this incredible collection of scientific facts about color. We will talk about light (the most important thing) and waves (not the ones you see at the beach - although you will learn why the sea looks blue!).

You will find out how some animals can glow in the dark and how others change colors to hide from predators. Keep reading to discover why leaves change color in autumn, why your veins appear blue but your blood is red, and how the language we use shapes the colors we see...

And a real astronomer, Dr. Sheila Kanani, will even teach you how to make a rainbow - in space.
