We weren't in the path for a total solar eclipse in April 2024, but this book gave me the vibes I was hoping for if I had experienced it. The poetic style of writing brings a peaceful feeling.
It didn't take too long for my students to notice that people in the book weren't wearing glasses when they looked at the eclipse though. Perhaps they need a second edition.
Goodreads says:
A lyrical, exquisitely illustrated tribute to the solar eclipse.
What happens during a solar eclipse? The sun vanishes. Light becomes dark. Day animals sleep, and night animals wake. The moon takes over the sky. People stop what they’re doing and together, they look up. The whole world changes for a few beautiful minutes.
Celebrating the magic of this favorite wonder of the universe, A Few Beautiful Minutes encourages young readers to (safely) discover each stage of a solar eclipse—and to experience how this incredible phenomenon can connect us to one another.
