About Sunbelievable

Sunbelievable tells of a hilarious and whacky Sun seen through the emboldened imagination of two young sisters. Does the Sun ride roller coasters? Eat pizza?

This endearing story shows the loving relationship and unbounded curiosity of young children. NASA’s chief technologists adds facts about the real Sun as a jumping off point for questions and discussion. The images combine real photographs with magical, digitally created landscapes.

“You can’t take your eyes off of the illustrations!” (San Francisco and Sacramento Book Review 2012)
