Summer Sun Risin'
Product ID: 25269441
From sunrise to sunset, an African American boy spends an activity-filled summer day helping his family on their farm. Set on a Texas farm in the 1950s and told in Nikola-Lisa's distinctive and catchy style, this loving tribute to childhood, farm life, and family togetherness will resonate with readers of all backgrounds today. Sun-drenched paintings by Don Tate mirror the family's daily activities and trace the sun as it travels across the sky from sunrise to sunset. The story also subtly introduces young readers to the subject of African American farmers. Review: Adorable addition to your library - Adorable book! The illustrations are wonderfully done and the story is such a nice read. Our son really loves this book and we do too! Review: An absolute gem! - This book is one of my son's absolute favorites, and mine too. It's very well written with great illustrations and depicts a wonderfully close family that shares work, meals, fishing and music.

Lovely!
Beautiful illustrations, great repetitive prose. Was used for a unit on how the sun, earth and moon are tied together. Lovely book.

time to get up!
Days on the farm start as soon as the sun risies. There are always chores to do. Animal must be fed and crops tended to. This family in the book workd ahrd and works together. At the end of the day there is even time for fishing and relaxing on the porch. The theem of the book is hard work always pays off in the end.
