I SMILE AT THE SUN is a "perky and at times poignant staging of rhymes, tongue-twisters, and Dr. Seuss-like poems for children and 'misidentified grownups.'" Between comic takes on childhood--trading ice cream, bathtub fears, bugs, and Simon Says--the poems by Judith Barrett Lawson offer wisdom on loss, old age, and the importance of dreams. This book is full of verse in the style of Shel Silverstein that is enjoyable for all ages!
