Secrets of the Seasons: Orbiting the Sun in Our Backyard

The family from Secrets of the Garden are back in a new book about backyard science that explains why the seasons change.

Alice and her friend Zack explore the reasons for the seasons. Alice's narrative is all about noticing the changes as fall turns into winter, spring, and then summer. She explains how the earth's yearlong journey around the sun, combined with the tilt in the earth's axis, makes the seasons happen. Â Â

Alice's text is clear and simple, and experiential. Two very helpfulâ€”and very funnyâ€”chickens give more science details and further explanation through charts, diagrams, and sidebars. Â
Â
Packed with sensory details, humor, and solid science, this book makes a complicated concept completely clear for young readersâ€”and also for the many parents who struggle to answer their kids' questions!

"Several adults of my acquaintance . . . would find Secrets of the Seasons to be an eye-popping revelation." â€”John Lithgow, The New York Times Book Review
