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.”

We are a family of readers. My grandparents were teachers and professors, my dad, up until he died at age 97, read a newspaper, magazine, and several chapters of a book every day. I still have my childrens books and have a room dedicated as a “lending library”. Now we have grandkids and the library has new patrons. There is always a constant flow into and out of our library, lol
this book sounds like it makes learning about the moon & sun etc fun and makes you want to read it. And that is what makes for a good book
