    Rainbows. Sunsets. Shadow puppets. We can think of so many ways that we get to enjoy the sun. But does the sun know of the joys he brings? After all, he’s 93 million miles away!Celebrate the work of the sun in this positive and imaginative story of encouragement, empathy, and appreciationFortunately for the sun, who’s working away in the middle of space by himself, he has the good fortune of knowing a friendly and thoughtful comet, who flies around the galaxy and observes all the different ways that the sun’s rays actually help the people and living creatures of a faraway place called Earth.Modeling healthy and nurturing relationships with good universal values and moralsA wonderful tale of friendship, compassion, and gratitude between two adorably illustrated characters who show a range of emotions and feelings, Shine On! also sends a message to readers about the products of hard work, persistence, and patience, even though those benefits might not be all that obvious at first.A happy book, beautifully illustrated With beautiful and colorful illustrations from Italian storybook artist Nausicaa Foffi, this story offers similar messages and themes as selections from Michelle Knudsen (Library Lion), Jessica Collaco (Firenze’s Light), Laurie Wright (I Can Handle It), Brandon Walden (Seeds and Trees), and Diane Alber (Scribble Stones). The best children's book for bedtimeIdeal for children ages 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, this inspiring and empowering book is a great rhyming, read-aloud bedtime story.
