Eclipse
by Andy Rash
After hearing about the total solar eclipse happening in two months, a boy makes a plan with his father to go see it.

Based on a trip that author-illustrator Andy Rash took with his son to see the eclipse in August 2017, Eclipse is a heartfelt and playfully illustrated ode to seeking out unique adventures and savoring the most special moments with the people you love.
