Meet the Sun

Two kids in caps and long sleeves building a stone sundial under a shade tree in a sunny meadow

Big Idea

Meet the Sun: Sunlight gives us light and warmth, and too much can burn.

Story time

One morning at the flower meadow, Rosie and Owen talked about “meet the sun.” Fair skin burns fast, and sun-smart habits protect skin for life. Rosie said, “Let's try it today!” Owen smiled and said, “Let's do it together.” By the end of the day, they both felt proud of the healthy choice they made.

Try it!
