Catching the sun, catching some air

Isabel Minhòs Martins & Bernardo P. Carvalho

This book is a tribute to our place in space, to the Sun, to the atmosphere, to the Earth. It has information, activities, pages to breathe in deep with, pages to have fun with. In some pages, we answer questions that science has already found answers for (What is the wind? How big is the sun?); in others we tell stories involving bees, trees or flying seeds; in others, still, we talk about people, of course. The sun that comes in through our window, the air that goes into our lungs. The hats that fly away with the wind. The people that are the sunshine of our lives.

Are you coming?

The sun is waiting for us, let’s go.

We really could use some fresh air.
