Meet Tommy, a boy with ASP. Tommy absolutely loves the sun. He loves the warm rays, the bright color and is drawn to the sun. It makes him feel good. When he doesn’t see the sun, his days are harder. Embark on a special journey with Tommy as he looks for the sun in unexpected places.
I almost find the attraction to the sun a bit of juxtaposition to the book, because you can see Tommy’s attraction to the light and it’s brilliant rays. To me this is the meaning behind the book. The illustrations and colors that the illustrator uses in the book convey the feelings that Tommy has on a daily basis. When the sun doesn’t shine, Tommy’s mood changes.
I feel there are many different ways to relate to this story. It is a great read-aloud to provide some in-depth discussion about what this boy sees in the sun and about the neuro-developmental disorder that is characterized by interaction and communication with others.
Sunbird is a book for everyone or anyone that looks at the world in a different way. Can’t that be all of us?… (plus d'informations)
