Hello, Sun

By Julie Downing

What colors will you see in the sunshine? The days are filled with colors from morning to night. Do you see silver, yellow or pale light? Ladybugs, rabbits, squirrels and sleepy bears greet the day and night. Listen to the sounds around you. As night appears in warm colors of pinks, blues or purples, do you see the stars? Hello, Sun. Goodnight, Sun. The beautiful illustrations fill each page, taking readers on a journey of light. Downing creates a gorgeous rhyming adventure complete with colors swirling all around. What will you see outside during the day or at night? Explore the summer days and create your own sunshine drawing.
