Sun & Son

Paired verbs tell two parallel stories between the human world and the natural world: While a father nurtures a son during a birthday camping trip, the sun nurtures our planet in this inspirational picture book.

Linda Joy Singleton's (Crane and Crane) simple sequence of verbs invites comparison of word meanings and concepts. Richard Smythe's (Crane and Crane, The Mighty Steam Engine) colorful illustrations inspire observations and highlight the different meanings of the paired words.

Perfect for celebrating father-son relationships and our relationship with nature, this charming book makes a great Father's Day gift or read-aloud for preschoolers and older children.

"Love this beautiful picture book. As a Speech-Language Pathologist, I love the author’s use of language. A great book for a gift or to add/donate to a school library."— Online review

"Do you ever find yourself explaining how two words that sound the same (homonyms) can have completely different meanings? This is a conversation that I can recall having repeatedly with my own kiddos! "—Online review

Sun & Son is a brand new book that has two parallel storylines all told in homonyms - one within nature and one within the human world. Explore the double meaning of these words in this heartwarming father & son birthday camping trip. A brilliant read-aloud and book to read with Dad. —Online review
