I wanted to share a new children’s book you will find inside our Summer Gift Guide 25: Good Golden Sun by Caldecott Honoree by Brendan Wenzel (Author) I received in exchange for this review. Inside this post is my affiliate links. If you click on the links and make a purchase I will make a small percentage from the products you purchase.
Good Golden Sun has a beautiful picture of the Sun on the cover of the book against a blue background with a Bee trying to fly away. If you look closely you will see a Hill with Animals on the bottom of the books my family enjoyed looking at.
Good Golden Sun begins it ask the Sun where it’s been at because the Bee has been waiting in the dark. Which we all do a lot of times don’t we? He ask the Sun if it ever gets cold. Then he ask if he gets lonely int the Sky.
The Bee keep asking the Sun questions throughout Good Golden Sun that will make you stop and think If Charlie had been #Homeschooling still we could have used Good Golden Sun in our Homeschool Creative Writing Class and our #reading class and you can do the same.
