Sunny has a rocky start to her first day at Weather School. She’s desperate to impress her classmates but-from melting Frosty’s frozen yoghurt to ruining Mizzle and Drizzle’s games by drying up the puddles in the playground-everything keeps going wrong. Will she get her chance to shine?
First in a brand-new series of picture books about a loveable group of young weather characters, discovering their incredible powers.
Sunny is a positive, literal ‘ray of sunshine’. On her first day at school, she is determined to shine and to be the best that she can be. Her enthusiasm and excitement lead to some accidental errors, which cause Sunny to feel downhearted and despondent. There is much to be learned from this bright and engaging picture book. Children will love the characters; they are colourful and uncomplicated in their design with names that reflect their weather-related functions and personalities.
Changing states and the needs of plants are interesting science concepts that are covered as an integral, but fun, part of the story. As sunny embarks on her school journey, she learns that working together is more effective than trying to outshine everyone else. She discovers that everyone is unique and everyone is special in their own, individual way. This is a beautiful book to look at and is the perfect length for bedtime reading.
