3. Summer Sun Stories

I love reading to my children! Reading aloud is a great way to instill a lifelong love of books in your children.

Plus, reading aloud to kids actually helps them to be better readers when they’re older!

Why not color your own sunshine and read a story about the sun too? Here are some sun stories we enjoy:

– Sun! One In A Billion by Stacy McAnulty is perfect for learning about the sun’s role in our solar system with your little astronaut!

–Will You Be My Sunshine by Julia Lobo is a very cute board book version of the classic song that makes a great bedtime story for toddlers.

–Summer Sun Sweetness by Dee Smith is an adorable read aloud about how the sun helps make our summer days warm and special.
