Sunny and Stormy [Hardcover]

A bright and beautiful picture book about sibling rivalry, dealing with emotions and sisterly love

In the sky above a little village, magical sisters Sunny and Stormy control the weather with their unique powers. But while Sunny is adored for her warmth and light, Stormy feels unloved for her wind and rain. When Stormy’s jealousy causes chaos in the village, she flies away, believing she has ruined everything. But Sunny can’t restore balance without her. Together the sisters must learn that embracing their differences and accepting themselves is the key to bringing out the best in each other. In this peppy picture book about the necessity of balance, both in nature and in relationships, two sisters’ magic directs the weather in the village below them. Stormy feels underappreciated, though: the villagers love her sister’s sun and warmth, but they only complain when Stormy’s rainy, cooling influence dominates. Wounded, Stormy departs—after which the villagers realize that her contributions were quite essential to the harmony of their town. The bright illustrations are dominated by rainbow colors in electric hues that exist in striking contrast to Stormy’s moody blues, purples, and grays
