The Sun is a Shine
The Sun is a Shine | Leslie A. Davidson
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
A gentle and poetic board book about weather systems across the world. Young readers will enjoy meeting children from around the globe and experiencing the phenomena of the sky as each child thanks Mother Earth for bringing the sun, wind, rain, snow, lightning and thunder to them. Magical illustrations enhance evocative text in a delightful blend of cultural diversity, geography, science, rich language and gratitude. The sun is a shine, that wakens the day, sparkles the dew, makes everything new. Miigwetch, merci, golden Sun. Thank you, thank you, shining one.

A visually and poetically beautiful board book about being grateful for natural scenes around the world, with "thank you" in different languages (notably, mostly non European, including a few Indigenous ones). The writing is a bit off kilter, in the fun and unique way, as it uses words in ways a bit traditionally ungrammatical. (Like in the title, for example). The illustrations are bright, cheerful, hopeful, calming. Highly recommended!
