A boy and his dad experience a total solar eclipse in this heartwarming picture
book by author and illustrator Andy Rash.
Shimmering rays shine around the moon. I try not to blink.
We are in the perfect place at the perfect time.
After hearing about the total solar eclipse happening in two months, a boy makes
a plan with his father to go see it. They drive to the perfect campsite, not wanting
to miss the couple of minutes when the sun will be completely hidden by the
moon. When the moment happens, being together makes it even more special.
Based on a trip that author-illustrator Andy Rash took with his son to see the
eclipse in August 2017, Eclipse is a heartfelt and playfully illustrated ode to
seeking out unique adventures and savoring the most special moments with the
people you love. Back matter about eclipses and maps of eclipses' paths across
the United States make this book perfect for the STEAM curriculum.
