Ford Goes Looking for the Sun is the story about a boy who goes looking for the Sun because he wants to ask the Sun a question. I describe the style of the book as "story text". Story text because the story is a simple one, but its science content introduces important science words and concepts to the children.
Within each two-page illustration is a "hidden word or symbol" for children to find. These words and symbols are science concepts which relate directly to the story. More importantly, they provide scientific information that can be further studied and explored with a parent or teacher.
Ford Goes Looking for the Sun is about us, and how we fit into the world around us.
