Another favorite info fic PB coming your way courtesy of #SunWriteFun! What's not to love about a wayward black hole and spaghettification? Check out The Black Hole Debacle by Keri Claiborne Boyle, illustrated by Deborah Melmon for great humor and some interesting facts about black holes!

In honor of #SunWriteFun (www.karengreenwald.com/sunwritefun-25), I wanted to share this art work from Clouds in Space: Nebulae, Stardust, and Us by @teresarobeson.com and illustrated by Diana Renzina. I love the bold, swirly colors (and the great science facts of course)!

In honor of #SunWriteFun, here's a quote from one of my favorite NF picture books, Brains! Not Just a Zombie Snack by Stacy McAnulty, illustrated by Matthew Rivera:

"Yep, you're pretty useless without your brain. And much less appetizing."
