Rivers o Sunlight: how the sun moves water around the earth

The illustrations are cool and colorful and inviting, but there are other books that convey the information and concepts of this book better.  This book is written in first person, from the voice of the sun.  But it rambles a bit in its explanations and doesn’t connect all the necessary dots.  The subtitle is “how the sun moves water around the earth.”  Several times it describes roles played by “my winds.”  Now I have enough of a science background to understand the role of the sun in creating the convection currents in the air which are our winds, but this book didn’t offer any connective tissue for young readers as to why the sun could claim power over the winds.
