What does the sun look like to you?
A young child walks along a country road into town where there’s a parade on. The experiences of the day, and the child’s eventual homecoming and bedtime, are chronicled and compared to the sun. The sun takes the form of the yolk of an egg, a spool of thread, the eye of a bird, an ice-cream cone and a dandelion. Each round, yellow item on the page hints at the big golden ball in the sky.
Stunning illustrations by Josée Bisaillon capture how imagination shapes the environment around us. This simple board book shows children that the way they see the world—by heart, mind and imagination—is just right. Revelling in metaphor, The Sun is a Peach encourages that magical leap of imagination and asks the reader to look at everyday objects from a different perspective.
Key Selling Points
- In this book a young child learns about metaphor, comparing their observations of the sun to other everyday objects they encounter through their day from dawn to dusk.
- The Sun is a Peach and its companion title, The Moon is a Silver Pond, are the perfect introductions to metaphor with stunning illustrations using size, shape and texture to teach metaphor.
- The author’s middle-grade novel, A Boy Named Queen, was a finalist for the Rocky Mountain Book Award, the Silver Birch Express Award, the Ruth and Sylvia Schwartz Children’s Book Award and the Diamond Willow Award.
