Together We Are Sunshine [Hardcover]

In this heartwarming celebration of sisterhood, three girls explore the natural world and discover the harmony of being the littlest, middle, and oldest sister.

Haala, the middle sister, loves to follow along behind her older sister, Sanaa, on their outdoor adventures. But her little sister, Munira, always seems to get in the way. Munira blocks the sun’s kiss, interrupts the wind’s song, and scares away the goldfish’s secrets. Haala can’t keep up with Sanaa when Munira’s on her heels. But when the sisters take a moment to work as a team, they realize that together they can achieve anything--and that together they are sunshine.

In this celebration of the natural world, three sisters learn to help one another in a story that feels like a warm, bright hug.★ This is an excellent portrayal of sibling relationships where what’s important is remembering how powerful it is to work with others. —School Library Journal, starred review
