Is there anything better than a sunny day? How about a day that’s sunny . . . and birdy? Or breezy and buzzy? Blue and wishy? Cloudy and fishy? In this enchanting, buoyant picture–book debut from Shelley Johannes, a pair of siblings find the bright side during all the seasons of a year—bringing optimism, curiosity, and wonder to each situation they encounter, no matter the weather.
Shelley Johannes is the author–illustrator of the Beatrice Zinker, Upside Down Thinker chapter–book series. A former architectural designer, she has a fondness for tracing paper, process, and accidental discoveries. She and her family live in Michigan with two feathered friends, Max and Alex, who make every day sunny and birdy. More Than Sunny is her debut picture book.
