by Kate Coombs (Author) Anna Laitinen (Illustrator)
Bright, lyrical poems and lovely illustrations encourage children to immerse themselves in the natural world.
Today I am sunlight !
Heart happy,
bright
as a yellow bird
flying to the top
of the sky,
shining and calling
HOORAY!
Gold light,
glad light,
today
I am sunlight!
