Written and Illustrated by Ashley Benham-Yazdani
I actually really liked this book! It’s all about Halley’s Comet, from the beginning of Earth to the present day. And it’s all in beautiful watercolor! What’s cool is that it shows the history of the earth and shows the dates when people would have seen Halley’s Comet. You see the comet sweep by William Shakespeare and Genghis Khan. And it gets you excited for the next visit in 2061. It has a higher word count, so I would recommend it for grades 1-5.
