lovely

A great introduction, whether you celebrate it as a holiday, or are just interested in the history and science of it!

Beautiful book for all ages

I read this book to my eighth grade physical science students before they started a project about the summer solstice. It lends itself well to a teacher read-aloud. The pictures are beautiful and the information is comprehensible. It is a great way to bring cultural diversity into a science lesson.
