<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"A nonfiction picture book about the largest solar power plant in the world"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>In his signature style, Allan Drummond tells the story of the largest solar plant in the world, the Noor Solar Power Plant in Morocco's Sahara Desert, in <i>Solar Story</i>--by relating it to the everyday life of a schoolgirl in a small village next to the plant.</b> <p/>As we see on a class field trip, the plant is not only bringing reliable power to the village and far beyond, but is providing jobs, changing lives, and upending the old ways of doing things--starting within the girl's own family. <p/>Blending detail-filled watercolors, engaging cartoon-style narration, sidebars, and an afterword, the author showcases another community going green in amazing ways.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>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. --<i>Kirkus Reviews</i> <p/>"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." --<i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/>"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." --<i>The Horn Book</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Allan Drummond </b>is the author and illustrator of numerous children's books, including <i>Green City, Energy Island</i>, and <i>Pedal Power</i>. He studied at the Royal College of Art in London and currently lives in Suffolk, England
