It's Sunny

A summer day spent playing in the sunshine easily inspires smiles for young children. Early readers are at an age when they may just begin wondering why some days are sunny and others are rainy or cloudy. In this stimulating title, the illustrated sun-shaped character Ray guides readers through not only learning about what weather is, but also how sunshine affects people, plants, and animals. This title also reveals to young readers what the sun is made from and what they can wear to stay protected from its pleasant but powerful rays. Brilliant full-color photos, a diagram showing the four seasons, and a glossary with weather-related terms are all additional elements to strengthen young reader engagement in content aligned with Earth Science curricula.
