Could your team, troop, PTO, P.E.O., church or other nonprofit group use a fundraiser that's low-risk, high potential, turn-key, easy and fast? Collaborate with us by fundraising with our new children's picture book Total Solar Eclipse: A Stellar Friendship Story this spring and that's exactly what you'll have!
The North American solar eclipse on April 8, 2024, could easily be the most witnessed astronomical event in U.S. history. Weather permitting, millions along the path of totality are in for an extra special treat—and a major infusion of tourists. This is a huge opportunity for you especially if you live near or between the red lines below!
Unique opportunity
Sales are strong for Total Solar Eclipse: A Stellar Friendship Story. There are just a few solar eclipse picture books on the market and none like ours told from the Sun's unique point of view. Kids, parents, grandparents and teachers have fallen in love with our enduring tale, which happens to make the perfect eclipse souvenir to share or to keep!
Since first publishing it in July 2023, we’ve received requests from nationwide literacy organizations, elementary schools, universities, bookstores, science museums, observatories, and public libraries, to name a few.
Key features of the book
Educational Value:Â The twin topics of introductory STEM (solar system and solar eclipse) and social emotional learning (communication, friendship, teamwork) make the story popular across a wide range of interests and educational priorities. The story is relevant well beyond the 2024 eclipse!
Special Souvenir: Part of the book’s charm in this moment is the memory page, so people experiencing this once-in-a-lifetime total eclipse can capture their personal experience and share it with others for decades to come.
Engaging Storytelling:Â The book takes young readers on a delightful and educational journey, weaving together a charming narrative with vibrant illustrations that have captivated readers of all ages.
