Flashback Tuesday: The Summer Solstice by Ellen Jackson illustrated by Jan Davey Ellis

It is a sure sign of summer when kids are out selling lemonade.....my neighbors little girl just set up her stand.....so sweet.  


The Summer Solstice by Ellen Jackson and illustrated by Jan Davey Ellis is a beautifully illustrated book that details how different countries and cultures--ancient and contemporary celebrate the first day of Summer.   This book has a lot of information along with great activities and even a few recipes.   I like that it combines history with science so that there is something for everyone.  A great book to use throughout the summer for when the doldrums set in.  


Happy Summer!
