Kara Finds Sunshine on a Rainy Day

Kara Finds Sunshine on a Rainy Day is a picture book about hope, healing, and discovering heroes around us and within. Little Kara awakens one morning to a sky raining "cats and dogs." She rushes to complain to her mother that the rain has disrupted her plans to go outside to play. Her mother responds by telling her that she doesn't need to get upset because, in reality, "the sun is always shining." When Kara seeks to learn more about unending sunshine, her mom answers by sharing rhyming stories about historical figures and ordinary people, of a wide variety of races and backgrounds, from across the globe, who found or made "sunshine" in difficult times. This special edition was written to support children and families who survived the devastating Hurricane Katrina in 2005. A child psychiatrist has called Kara Finds Sunshine "a voyage to resiliency." A cultural historian suggests it's a powerful education in the "habit of love."
