Sunshine, Moonshine, this beautiful poetic tale follows a boy throughout the course of his active day. From the morning when the shining sun wakes him until the moon shines on my pillow and says, "Good night to me." The out doors call and his summertime adventures are recorded. The full-color, full-page oil illustrations evoke a serene and beautiful seaside setting.They are realistically rendered, and background details add to the enhancing of the entire book. Beginning readers will appreciate the large print and repetition, although some of the vocabulary (fireflies, among, mountains) may be challenging. Sunshine, Moonshine also makes a gentle bedtime story for toddlers and preschoolers. This book is written by Jennifer Armstrong, and is for the elementary level.
Jennifer Armstrong grew up in South Salem, New York. And by the age of six she knew that she was going to be an author. As a child she spent countless hours outside, making up adventure stories and acting them out. Armstrong is the winner of numerous awards for both fiction and nonfiction, and she has written more than 100 books for all ages, from pre-school through young adult.
After graduating from Smith College in Massachusetts, Armstrong worked as a ghostwriter for a bestselling teen series and began to write her own books. She has since written picture books, easy readers, chapter books, young adult novels, and nonfiction. History has been a recurring theme in both her fiction and nonfiction.
