Wake up, little one—summer sun's a-risin'!

It's goin' to be another busy day on the farm as a young boy gets ready to help Ma and Pa with the chores.

Fence on the hill,
corn in a row.
Hay in the field
ready to mow.

Pa takes the wheel,
I work the gears.
Summer sun's blazin',
burnin' our ears.

The activities don't stop till it's time for a bedtime story and a night of sleepin' under the starry sky.

W. Nikola-Lisa once again tells a story with verve and fun, this time paying tribute to farm life and family togetherness. Sun-drenched paintings by Don Tate shine with the spirit of this joyful story.

Summer Sun Risin'
The rhythmic verses beg to be read aloud, and the colors and typeface are bold enough for group sharing. A cheery introduction to farm life and simple poetry...
