Description
On April 8th, 2024 North America will experience a total eclipse of the sun. For a brief moment in time, the day will be night, and 50 million people in the path of totality will experience this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. This is a time to “look up” from your phone or computer and take the pledge to “look up” today and every day. This book reminds us of what it means to look up! Look up at the sky, look up from your cell phone, look up to those who help and serve and remember, others look up to you too!
