Sunny was a treat to read. It is most appealing as the story is very well done and the artwork is beautiful. I applaud the author for writing a book to meet the needs of very young children as well as children of elementary school age. I experienced many different feelings as I read the book and I know others will experience the same thing. The guide to further discussion at the end of the book will be most helpful as foster parents read this story to the children in their care.
Sunny is the story of Mandy, a foster child, who is given a puppy. Struggling with her own emotions of loss and belonging, Mandy tries to return the puppy to its mother, only to discover with the help of her kindly neighbor, Mr. Johnson, that sometimes puppies, just like people, can find love, care and belonging with a foster parent.

Always great to hear about a new book for foster kids. My kids are obsessed with "Maybe Days" - might be time for something new :)
