There is no sun or summer in Venus: a metaphor for leaving/missing home. As its often the case with this authors stories, Sci Fi is used to show the reader that the development of technology might make us reach the stars or in this case, Venus but in doing so it might make us miss what makes our planet amazing: nature. Such simple things such as the summer or the shining sun that we take for granted every day will be missed: well only be left with memories of how it once was. This story canI read this back in grade 6 I think, and I remember how sad I felt for Margot. I also remember that this also really hit home about consequences for our actions and how a simple I'm sorry does not or will not always suffice.

For me this story creates that quiet involuntary
I think the sun is a flower,That blooms for just one hour.Beautiful and poignant, with so much emotion conveyed in so few words.This is a great story to open up the issues of bullying and discrimination and I encourage you to read it.
Ray Bradbury broke my heart in four pages. Poor Margot, kids can be such assholes sometimes.Available online many places; Here's one of them.
What a beautiful story of hope, life, memories and grief. I loved how Ray Bradbury used kids to talk about nuanced emotions, because their impact can only be fully understood when one is older. This story could be read and enjoyed by kids the age of Margot and older folks equally. It was sad to see how Margot was treated by bullies in her class, because she was different and knew something the others didn't. Subtle, yet poignantly, Bradbury points to human attitude of
