Sunshine

Using a technique not unlike freeze-frame photography, Jan Ormerod realistically portrays, in a series of worldless sequences, the first waking hour of a little girl and her mum and dad. The illustrations: waking, washing, breakfasting and dressing and the inevitable panic at the prospect of being late, are realistically rendered in warm colours. This is a story which all young children can read for themselves and interpret in their own way; very strongly recommended.
