A celebration all the different people and cultures under the sun from Mary Ann Hoberman, award-winning and bestselling author of the You Read to Me, I'll Read to You series.
Throughout history, from dinosaurs and ancient Rome to today's bustling playgrounds and cafes, one thing binds us all together: the sun! Beloved author Mary Ann Hoberman weaves together timely themes of valuing diversity, building community, and caring for the environment in this rhyming picture book about how the power of sunshine inspires and unites us all around the world.
With joyous art from illustrator Luciano Lozano, this perfect rhyming read-aloud reminds us that all life is precious, and all life shares one sun--and the sun shines everywhere!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Former children's poet laureate Hoberman celebrates the stalwart star that makes life possible and connects people regardless of where they live: "The world takes turns at day and night/ And each side has its share./ The sun is shining all the time!/ The sun shines everywhere!" The language is conversational, with lilting, playful internal and external rhymes: when Hoberman notes that the sun is important even to nocturnal animals, she singles out "the owls who hoot, the moles who root,/ The bats who swoop in flight." Full-bleed spreads and spot illustrations by Lozano (Miles of Smiles) are rendered in soft colors and populated by rosy-cheeked folks and happy animals under a smiling, blossomlike sun. Some illustrations feel a little like a throwback to Disney's It's a Small World attraction the Parisian child, dressed in traditional artist's gear, stands by the Eiffel Tower; Chinese kids play a fishing game while a bright red Paifang rises in the background. Still, there's a lot to be said for spreading a little sunshine through unironic high spirits and unalloyed good nature. Ages 4 8. Author's)
