The Sun Plays with the Moon achieves the ultimate goal -- teaching children about science without them ever realizing they are learning.

STEPHMWARD Writer With Wanderlust

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.

Dr. Jen Harrison The Children's Book Review

The sun plays with the moon and takes the question that a child might ask about eclipses which is a beautiful astronomical event. The book lays the concept of how the sun and moon interact together and shares in simple terms what happens during an eclipse, when they can occur, and the benefits of the sun and moon interactions.
