Description
Magical illustrations enhance evocative text in a delightful blend of cultural diversity, geography, science, rich language and gratitude.
A gentle and poetic board book about weather systems across the world. Young readers will enjoy meeting children from around the globe and experiencing the phenomena of the sky as each child thanks Mother Earth for bringing the sun, wind, rain, snow, lightning and thunder to them.
The sun is a shine, that wakens the day, sparkles the dew, makes everything new. Miigwetch, merci, golden Sun. Thank you, thank you, shining one.
About the authors
Leslie A. Davidson a toujours écrit, mais ce n’est qu’à la retraite qu’elle a enfin trouvé le temps de mettre sur papier les histoires qui lui trottaient dans la tête toutes ces années où elle enseignait et élevait ses enfants. Ses histoires traitent de ce qui compte le plus pour elle : la famille, l’amitié et la nature. Le canot rouge lui a été inspiré par la passion de son mari pour le canot. Il rêvait d’aller explorer lacs et rivières aux eaux limpides avec ses petits-enfants, mais il n’a pas vécu assez longtemps pour réaliser son rêve.
