The Stars in Our Sky is a quick and light hearted read exploring several different types of stars in our universe. This book will introduce students to yellow dwarf stars, red giants, white dwarfs, and black holes.

Look up a the sky, both near and far, take a good look, do you see some stars?

Some dance and twinkle, some shine and glow

but how much about these stars do we actually know?

Just like people, stars are unique.

They come in all sorts of shapes and sizes-

It is almost to much to think!

So Hertzsprung and Russell created a way,

to label and classify the stars in the sky

So that scientists can know what stars are today.

Some stars are red and some stars are gold, this has to do with whether they are hot or they are cold.

Some stars are dim, and some stars are bright. Luminosity is a measurement how they give off light.

Our Sun

Changing Hydrogen to Helium can get you pretty far.
