This is an interesting picture book about the summer solstice.  After a short introduction which explains the scientific reason in simple terms for the various seasons, the book launches into the history from ancient to present of how humans have revered and celebrated the sun.  The illustrations are colorful and compliment the text.  In the back of the book there are four crafts related to the text.  I think this book will especially appeal to our scientifically minded young students who are interested in more than “just a story”.
