REVIEW OF “GOODBYE SUN” BY WENDY ABIGAIL TREAT
A gift book has been added to the childrens’ library corner. Goodbye Sun ( jf TRE) was written and illustrated by Wendy Abigail Treat, a special education teacher and mother of 4 who lives in California. The book is her answer to one of her students who asked “where does the sun go when it falls into the ocean at night?” How the earth’s rotation makes sunset, nighttime,sunrise and daytime is explained with watercolor paintings and poetry. As a bonus, the main characters are provided as paper dolls at the end of the book for instructional value.
Adults and children will find this a science lesson with a playful manner.
