▲ No one eats sugarplums anymore. So while your children are nestled, all snug in their beds, wouldn’t you rather have visions of photosynthesis dancing in their heads? If so, read to your little scientist-to-be “Living Sunlight: How Plants Bring the Earth to Life,” by writer and illustrator Molly Bang and Massachusetts Institute of Technology biology professor Penny Chisholm (list price $16.99, although we found it for less online at Amazon and Barnes & Noble).
