Sun & Son - by Linda Joy Singleton (Hardcover)

About the Book

Told in a sequence of verbs, the activities of a boy's day with his father mirror the sun's journey in the sky from rising in the morning to setting in the evening.

Book Synopsis

Paired verbs tell two parallel stories between the human world and the natural world: While a father nurtures a son during a birthday camping trip, the sun nurtures our planet in this inspirational picture book.

Linda Joy Singleton's (Crane and Crane) simple sequence of verbs invites comparison of word meanings and concepts. Richard Smythe's (Crane and Crane, The Mighty Steam Engine) colorful illustrations inspire observations and highlight the different meanings of the paired words.

Perfect for celebrating father-son relationships and our relationship with nature, this charming book makes a great Father's Day gift or read-aloud for preschoolers and older children.
