Sun! One in a Billion

Author: Stacy McAnulty Illustrator: Stevie Lewis Publisher: Henry Holt and Co. Reviewer: Kerinda O’Neal, Children’s Library Associate, Southwest Oklahoma City Public Library

In this non-fiction picture book about the most magnificent and important star in our solar system (according to we Earthlings), the Sun shares its story with readers from its own celestial perspective. The energy and humor in this book will keep you laughing, while the Sun (with a capital “S”) will keep you learning as it shares various interesting facts about itself. The Sun brags about having a day of the week named after it, about how life literally revolves around it, and how it is a STAR by all definitions! This book is fantastic as a read-aloud for all children, young and old. Check it out today from your local library! If you enjoy this book, be sure to check out these others from the “Our Universe” series by Stacy McAnulty: Moon! Earth’s Best Friend and Mars! Earthlings Welcome.
