Do you know how the sun moves water about the earth? Are you curious what you could do to protect our planet and the precious resources on it? In this most recent Sunlight Series book, you will find out the constant movement of water and how the sun makes this great change work. The main character and the storyteller of this book is the sun. Throughout the book, the sun explains how the water changes and moves in cycles and describes each part of the water cycles in details. Another character in this book is a little, and he seems to be the listener of the sun. After explaining the water cycles, the sun also talks about the current situation of the water distribution on the earth and appeal to every reader to protect Earth's water. At the very end of this book, there are notes about this book, which introduces readers more facts about the water.

River of Sunlight: How the Sun Moves Water Around the Earth is one of an environmental book in Bang and Chisholm's Sunlight Series, which is a very famous scientific explanation book series. After reading this book myself, I think it is perfect for readers of all ages although its target reader is 6-8-year-old kids. I love the illustration of this book as well because of its color match and graphic scene. The illustration will definitely help younger kids' understanding of the content of this book. This book can be a great resource when teaching geography or environment-related topics in social studies.
