Four eclipse books for children and adults



Total Solar Eclipse: A Stellar Friendship Story was one of four featured eclipse books on a webinar this week attended by more than 50 librarians nationwide. The event was hosted by the Solar Eclipse Activities for Libraries (SEAL) program.


“I couldn't be happier to see our book showcased alongside other exceptional works exploring solar eclipses,” said Jayme Sandberg, author of Total Solar Eclipse: A Stellar Friendship Story. “Each of the titles selected have a unique narrative and perspective, offering librarians a diverse range of choices to enrich their collections and engage their patrons with two exciting solar eclipses on the horizon.”


Programming ideas and other educational resources were provided along with each title. The featured books and activities were:
