Sunny and the Birds
Sunny’s father is homesick. Taking notice of the birds around their new house, he recalls the same winged friends in his country of origin, flying against “tangerine skies.” Sunny, seeking to soothe his father’s melancholy, solicits his grandmother’s help to buy a bird feeder, hoping to attract all manner of avian visitors and make his father see this as their home. This sweet story of family love and acclimation to unfamiliar places is supported by illustrations that move between bright inside scenes with sharp lines and pastel, watercolor-evocative outdoor ones whose details are near magical.
