Publisher: Green Emerald Publishing | ISBN-13: 9798985036619
The Sun and the Moon are best friends playing a never-ending game of tag in the sky. Many fascinating changes occur on Earth as they catch each other, hug each other, and give each other high-fives. What are those fascinating changes? Their playfulness creates eclipses, ocean tides, sunlight, and moonbeams that benefit us all.
“Award-winning finalist in the poetry-narrative category.”
The International Book Awards
“This story provides an introduction to science and reassures young readers that potentially frightening solar events, such as eclipses, are nothing to worry about. Bright, luminous illustrations, reminiscent of the style of Eric Carle, encourage readers to turn their gazes to the real sky above their heads.”
