The Sun Is Kind of a Big Deal

The Sun Is Kind of a Big Deal by Nick Seluk
 
The Sun has been keeping everything running for around 4.5 billion years. It holds our solar system together, brings us daylight, helps to keep Earth warm and supplies the energy that makes life possible. It is fair to say that the Sun really is kind of a big deal.
 
Nick Seluk turns an enormous science topic into a funny, approachable journey through space and life on Earth. Bite-sized facts, comic-style illustrations and commentary from personified planets explain the solar system, day and night, planetary orbits, eclipses, the seasons, the water cycle, photosynthesis and some of the stories people have told about the Sun.
 
Children can enjoy the jokes and characterful artwork while gradually discovering how many familiar parts of life depend upon our nearest star. Sidebars introduce additional facts without interrupting the main explanation, making the book equally useful for shared reading, independent browsing and classroom discussion.
 
This 40-page paperback edition also includes a pull-out solar-system poster. It is an inviting choice for curious children who love space, science, funny non-fiction or books that make complicated ideas feel easier to explore.
