Illustrator: Jan Davey Ellis
Series: None but she has books for the Winter Solstice and both Equinoxes.
Publisher: The Millbrook Press
This is by far the best book describing the Solstice I have found yet. Jackson covers all the celebrations and beliefs from around the world that contribute to the Solstice Celebrations today.
Covered in this book is Lithuanian Villagers, North and South Americans, Europeans, Native American Tribes, Ancient Egyptians, Christians, Bohemians, Swaziland, Scandinavia, Sweden, USA and Canada's beliefs and customs. Also the science known behind the sun.
Near the end is a Summer Solstice Story: How Summer Came to the Island People, followed by activities to do with your children like crafts and snacks.
This is an awesome book.
