The Sun Takes a Vacation: The Milky Way's Don't-Go-Away Party

What would happen if the Sun decided it had worked long enough... and simply went on vacation?

When six-year-old Emma sneaks outside to gaze at the stars, she never expects a tiny Martian named Marty to crash-land beside her with shocking news.

The Sun—the heart of our solar system—has announced that after 4.6 billion years of shining, it's leaving.

Forever.

With only days before darkness falls across the planets, Emma and Marty set off on an unforgettable adventure through space. Their mission? Convince every planet in the solar system to come together for one extraordinary celebration that might just change the Sun's mind.

But winning over eight very different planets won't be easy.

A lonely king hides behind rings of ice. A frozen ruler has forgotten what love feels like. A giant who believes he's a failure. A frightened planet convinced everyone is against him. A fiery queen who doubts she matters. And that's only the beginning.

As Emma journeys from Mercury to Neptune, she discovers that every planet has its own story, its own fears, and its own hidden greatness. With kindness, courage, and a little imagination, one young girl shows that sometimes the biggest problems in the universe can be solved by the smallest acts of compassion.

Packed with humour, heart, unforgettable characters, and fascinating facts about every planet, Sun Takes a Vacation transforms the wonders of our solar system into an epic space adventure children will never forget.

Will Emma and Marty bring the planets together in time?

Will the greatest party in the history of the galaxy convince the Sun to stay?

There's only one way to find out.

Perfect for curious young explorers, future astronauts, and families who love magical adventures that inspire wonder, friendship, and a love for science.
