Calling all stargazers, this addition to the New York Times bestselling series is sure to be the perfect book for you! Ancient people from many different cultures--Greek, Roman, Mezo-American, Arab--all looked up and imagined pictures in the sky by "drawing" a line from one star to another, like a connect-the-dots puzzle. These star pictures--constellations--represented myths and legends from the various cultures that still fascinate us today. Author of the tremendously popular Where Is Our Solar System? Stephanie Sabol relates many of the most popular constellation stories and explains what stars actually are: how they formed, why they die, and how they're grouped into constellation families.
There is so much information in this small book! The author really unpacks the information in a way a juv reader or adult knew to stargazing can absorb and be entertained at the same time.
