Synopsis:
From the author of Earth! My First 4.54 Billion Years comes a new picture book about space--
this time starring our Sun!

Meet Sun: He's a star! And not just any star--he's one in a billion. He lights up our solar system and makes life possible. With characteristic humor and charm, Stacy McAnulty channels the voice of Sun in this next celestial "autobiography."

Our Thoughts:

Not only is Sun the center of our solar system, but he is also one in a billion! He's a star in every way and ready to be in the spotlight! Sun will tell us everything we may need or want to know about him and the universe around him!

In this adorable, fact-filled picture book, Sun tells us all the great things about himself, like how long it takes light to reach us on Earth and exactly how hot he is! There's plenty of information to take in but it also reads like a fun picture book! 

The 'Our Universe' trilogy personifies our Sun, Earth, and Moon in a fun way that really lets you get to know them and their relation to the solar system and the universe around them (and us!). 

This is one of our favorite picture book series of the past few years!
It's a great introduction to the solar system for little listeners or young readers that still prefer lots of cute pictures and easy to absorb information. The illustrations are bright and colorful and our bright, warm star is often the focal point but we also learn a bit about the other planets in our solar system and beyond! They would be a great addition to any library!
