SOLSTICE (WHAT ON EARTH) (HB)

Just two times each year - an event called the solstice - Earth leans closest to our home star, the Sun. Since ancient times, people have used the Sun as a timekeeper. They knew that the length of daylight changes in a regular way and celebrated the solstice as a signal of changing seasons. This book combines scientific information about the solstice with descriptions of children's lives at each latitude as the cultural narrative.
