Reviews

"Loose lines and cheery watercolors are equally deft at describing energetic, ebullient kids and the vast power plant. . . a surprisingly complex yet accessible exploration. A valuable look at sustainability and development." --Kirkus Reviews

"In kinetic, loose-lined illustrations washed with sunbaked hues, a group of classmates explores and explains topics including solar power, sustainability, and community development. The class visit to the plant frames statistics useful to young readers." --Publishers Weekly

"Full-page art and double-page spreads convey a sense of Jasmine's school and community, while spot art and occasional vertical and horizontal panels pace the flow of textual information." --The Horn Book
