Place reservation for Solstice : around the world on the longest, shortest dayExplore the daily lives of children around the world through the lens of a single, special day June 21st, the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere and the shortest in the southern hemisphere. Just two times each year - an event called the solstice - Earth leans closest to our home star, the Sun. Since ancient times, people have used the Sun as a timekeeper. They knew that the length of daylight changes in a regular way and celebrated the solstice as a signal of changing seasons. Solstice imparts scientific and cultural information using the global experience of a solstice as its scientific core, and the descriptions of children's lives at each latitude as the cultural narrative.
