excerpt:
What is a solstice?
A solstice is one of the two times of the year when the Sun is farthest from Earth's equator. One solstice takes place around December 21 and, north of the equator it's known as the winter solstice. The other solstice happens around June 21 and is called the summer solstice in the Northern hemisphere.
The Sun is a well-written science book for children by the
author of both the "Franklin" (the turtle) series and other science titles:
The Amazing Potato Book, The Amazing Apple Book, and
The Amazing Paper Book. The Sun is part of a
series called `Starting with Space' (which also includes The Moon).
Highly recommended.
