Review by Horn Book Review

The personified Sun (with a capital S) takes center stage to narrate this cheery, tongue-in-cheek celebration of itself, Earth's nearest star. A surprising amount of science is included among the humor, including the concept of gravity and Sun's comparative size and location in the solar system and the galaxy. The illustrations, created with colored pencil and digital tools, feature the star shining and smiling throughout. Factual back matter adds depth. (c) Copyright 2019.
