""Beautiful...Gottardi's artwork supports the concise yet engaging text and employs an interesting variety of styles...consistently maintains a level tone that never becomes alarmist or pins responsibility on kids to fix the situation."" --Booklist (STARRED REVIEW) ""Absorbing, exquisitely illustrated...packed with details that will likely compel its audience to look at human-created illumination in a whole new light...easily comprehensible and intriguing...Those interested in science and the environment should find this striking book fascinating, but any reader can find enlightenment within."" --Shelf Awareness (STARRED REVIEW) ""Behind the art's razzle-dazzle, a worthy call for attention to a burgeoning and underreported crisis."" --Kirkus Reviews ""Absorbing nightscapes and intricate diagrams are at the center of this Italian import, a concise and information-rich introduction to light pollution and its far-reaching effects...perhaps will inspire young readers to look at the night and light in a new way."" --School Library Journal
