By Shelley Johannes
More Than Sunny By Shelley Johannes Well, Shirley Johannes has certainly delighted me with this picture book. The combination of illustrations of two very agreeable siblings as they romp through the variable weather systems of the year and the large, kid-like, crayoned word rhymes make this one optimistic and imaginative picture book. The word pairings beg to be read aloud: “sunny and ducky”, “bedtime and sheepy”, “winter and waity”. The book blurb says that this is a, “buoyant picture book”. I agree. There’s nothing better than to read about kids embracing each other, their parents, their homes, the seasons, and enjoying all of this to their fullest. I think preschoolers will love the expressions on the characters faces. I think they’ll carry the word pairings with themselves as they venture and play throughout their own days and I think they’ll end up making their own new bright word combinations. This is a good one to share!
