The Unhappy Solar System Children's Book (Physical)

A visual message to kids about the importance of uniqueness and diversity.

The Unhappy Solar System is a beautifully illustrated children's book that combines accessible science with a meaningful message about acceptance, individuality, and self-worth. It Was a Story That Started in First Grade Written by Lorene Walker, an Omaha Public Schools educator, the story began as a first-grade classroom assignment to write and illustrate a children's book. That simple project grew into a story now read by children in schools across the country, including schools in Peru. *** Synopsis When Mister Sun discovers that his planets aren't happy, he listens as each one shares something they wish they could change. Some are too hot, some too cold, some volcanic, and others feel too far away. Along the way, the planets discover that the very things that make them different are also what make them special. *** Vibrant illustrations by Addison Green bring the planets and their personalities to life.
