An activity sheet with facts about places around the world on the June solstice plus space to draw what your solstice looks like? Or for children to imagine what the solstice is like around the world. Includes prompts to get children thinking. The activity sheet is based on the book Solstice: Around the World on the Longest, Shortest Day by Jen Breach and 14 global artists. Here’s more about the book: It’s June and sunshine time, but it’s also time for snowmen. How could that be? The June solstice is the longest day of the year in the north, but down south, it’s the shortest! Imagine Earth tilting like a seesaw, with the North Pole leaning towards the sun. This brings more sunshine to the north, while the south gets less. In this book, you will join 14 fictional children in 14 real places from Antarctica to Stonehenge as they experience the June solstice. For some, it is a special day full of music, dancing, food and fun – whilst others go about their normal day. Just open the book to begin your round-the-world solstice tour!

Wordsearch featuring animals found on the Galapagos Islands or in the sea around them. It is based on the book Galápagos Islands: The World’s Living Laboratory by Karen Romano Young. Far off the coast of Ecuador lies a group of volcanic islands unlike any other. Home to species as diverse as giant tortoises, salt-snorting marine iguanas, and the birds that made Charles Darwin famous, the Galápagos are a living laboratory for scientists working on the most urgent problem of our times: How can humans exist in harmony with nature on the only planet we are ever likely to have? Karen Romano Young, author of Antarctica: The Melting Continent, again takes to the field, visiting the archipelago to observe its environments first-hand and to interview the people who are lighting the way for the rest of us. Illustrator Amy Grimes brings Karen’s experience into vivid visual life for those of us who haven’t been there – yet.
