About this listen
Newbery Medalist Tae Keller’s debut is a resplendent account of humankind’s relationship with our most precious resource: the sun.
From the first human settlements to today’s modern metropolises, we have always relied on the sun for light, energy, and sustenance. We Carry the Sun traces the history of solar power from ancient south-facing villages to the Industrial Age and modern innovators; and from solar-powered steam engines to silicon solar panels.
Lyrical and informed, Newbery Medal winner Tae Keller’s debut is also a timely call to action that asks young listeners to imagine a brighter, cleaner future. We Carry the Sun is a tribute to pioneering thinkers, a celebration of humankind’s relationships with the natural world, and a shimmering ode to the resource that sustains us.
"More than a resource about the history of solar energy, it’s also a look at stepwise progress made by standing on the shoulders of those who have come before."—Publishers Weekly
