The Longest Day: Celebrating the Summer Solstice

Praise for The Longest Day:

“The text introduces both tradition and some science… Thirteen celebrations of the sun are included with basic information—just enough to interest young children.”
—School Library Journal
 
“A comfortable, multidimensional investigation of the Summer Solstice that transcends time and place.”
—Kirkus Reviews
 
“Pfeffer draws readers’ attention to the science and history of the seasonal change. After a succinct explanation of how the earth’s position shift causes longer days, she provides a wealth of intriguing information about sun celebrations throughout time, in a variety of places…. Recommended for classroom or library collections.”
