Born Storyteller And Communications Expert Jayme Sandberg Releases The Book Total Solar Eclipse

It's exceptionally rare to see a total solar eclipse where you live, or even within driving distance, but on Monday, April 8th, millions of people in the U.S. will have that chance. Hotel rates are skyrocketing and many schools are taking the day off, but a lot of people are left wondering: Are total solar eclipses really worth the hype? When the total solar eclipse of 2017 passed through her hometown, Nebraska mom Jayme Sandberg didn’t think much about it and almost missed one of nature’s most awe-inspiring sights right in her backyard. Fast forward several years later to another chance to see a rare total solar eclipse in the U.S. and Sandberg is not only chasing it, she’s sharing her personal story—along with her popular new children’s picture book—to make sure parents like her and elementary kids across the country take full advantage. Told from the Sun’s perspective as the Moon boldly prepares to block the light of our brightest star, Total Solar Eclipse: A Stellar Friendship Story shows readers how to safely view a total solar eclipse while also demonstrating the unexpected ways we shine working together. With its memory page in the back, the book doubles as a one-size-fits-all souvenir. In interviews on Tuesday, February 15th, Sandberg can talk about her book Total Solar Eclipse: A Stellar Friendship Story, her eclipse advice for fellow parents, and why seeing a total solar eclipse is TOTALLY worth the hype.
