The art, especially the colors, are beautiful! I love how informative this book is while still being easy to understand for younger kids. I love how it incorporates the different activities in the sun that you can enjoy if you stay safe :)

Four friends are heading outside for a full day of fun! While Alex and Charlie make sure to put on sunscreen and protective clothing, Sam and Nate decide they don’t need to worry about it because it’s a cloudy day. But the next morning, Sam and Nate wake up to red, painful sunburns. “How did this happen? The sun wasn’t even out!” Alex and Charlie help the boys understand how ultraviolet light can cause sunburns, and how to be smart about sun protection so they can continue to spend lots of time outside as healthy and active kids.

This is such a cool way to present important information to kids about how to stay safe in the sun! I did feel like the information-based portion took over towards the end, and I think adding illustrations might be a cool idea, to give some visuals of what can help kids stay safe in the sun.

Safe in the Sun is a very informative book about sun safety. It discusses how the sun burns us, and many different ways to avoid getting burnt.

The text was quite dense and includes a lot of information. It would be good to have an adult reading this book with the child to help them understand everything. That being said, the illustrations are very well done and I can see parents using them as a guide for an abridged version for smaller children.

Coming from Australia, I think this is a very important topic for children to understand. I found the story about being able to be burnt while it's cloudy reminiscent of that time I got the worst burn of my life on a cloudy day at the pool!

As we said as kids; slip, slop, slap. Slip on your rash top, slop on your sunscreen and slap on a hat.

Safe in the Sun is a picture book about sun safety. It would be best read with the help of an adult because there are some big terms used. Some of the text felt visually dense, but it includes a lot of good information on how to keep your skin safe in the sun. The illustrations are bright and cheerful.

Thanks to North Stars Editions - Jelly Fish Press and NetGalley for an eARC of this book for an honest review.
