Written by Omaha Public Schools educator Lorene Walker, The Unhappy Solar System delivers a very timely and enlightening message about the importance of uniqueness and diversity. This heartwarming book opens with a proud Mister Sun admiring all of his beautiful planets. But Mister Sun soon discovers that his Solar System isn't so happy. With concern and empathy, he listens carefully as the planets recount why they are unhappy - things like being too hot, too cold, too volcanic, too distant, or not being able to see around their rings. But just when there doesn't seem to be any hope of overcoming all of this cosmic discontent, an understanding and wise Mister Sun embraces his planets, shines his light upon them, and shares the book's overarching message: that every planet is uniquely important and being different is good!
Loaded with facts about the planets in our Solar System and beautifully illustrated by professional artist Addison Green, this book is a wonderful addition to a children's library to enlighten young readers about the universe above them, while also explaining why respecting the differences between themselves and others around them are so important.
