More Than Sunny - by Shelley Johannes (Hardcover)

About the Book

Throughout the year, a brother and sister, and sometimes their parents, enjoy weather that is sunny and birdy, rainy and wormy, windy and squirrelly, or snowy and doey.

Book Synopsis

Rain or shine, two siblings always find the silver lining in this joyful, shining picture-book debut

Is there anything better than a sunny day?
How about a day that's sunny . . . and birdy?
Or breezy and buzzy?
Blue and wishy?
Cloudy and fishy?
In this enchanting, buoyant picture-book debut from Shelley Johannes, a pair of siblings find the bright side during all the seasons of a year--bringing optimism, curiosity, and wonder to each situation they encounter, no matter the weather.
