Morning sun, golden skies Softly waking sleepy eyes The
critically-acclaimed celebration of summertime fun is now back in a
new board book format! For preschoolers, sunny days are full of
possibility. A sunbeam on the floor is the perfect place to curl up
with a furry friend, and warming weather means seeds in the garden,
mud pies in the yard, adventures at the beach, and ice cream in the
shade. Evening brings the silly fun of watching little shadows
stretch out long, and there's nothing so cozy as watching the sun
set as a family. In Sunny Days, author Deborah Kerbel once again
weaves a spell of early childhood magic with couplets as bright as
a summer afternoon. Illustrator Miki Sato's textural collage art
nearly rises from the page with fascinating features made from
paper, felt, and embroidery silk. "These charming couplets about
fun in the sun will have their appeal to lap sitters.... With its
padded cover, rounded corners, and thick pages, this eye-catching
yet simple look at sunshine will suit all collections that serve
toddlers."-School Library Journal **Starred Review**
