Author G. Brian Karas explains our time on earth as if we are on a giant merry-go-round, rotating and spinning around in space. Each page is like a work of art, with poetic text and inspiring illustrations to encourage readers to understand our planet in a new way.

The creative approach presented in the book, matched with the LITE series strategies, teaches the fundamental concepts of how time is measured. Students come away with a deeper appreciation of the Earth’s relationship to the sun – all while building literacy skills with non-fiction text as we complete one more trip around the sun.
