This book is a mix of facts about eclipses and a recounting of a special day spent with the narrator's dad in pursuit of seeing the path of totality in 2017. Something I love about it is how each page starts with time passing, "a day ago," "an hour ago," "a minute ago," etc. leading up to now--when the eclipse happens. "We are in the perfect place at the perfect time."

The time moves into the future as the book continues, leading up to a surprisingly moving glimpse at the future, as the father and son are much older, looking up at another eclipse. It's an ode to making memories and special days--which, as the author points out, can be any amazing experiences, not just eclipses, "as long as you're with the people you love."

I also especially love the map in the back that features future total and annular eclipses, up through 2048, which ensures this book's relevancy into the future!
