The Sun is a Peach

In this book a young child learns about metaphor, comparing their observations of the sun to other everyday objects they encounter through their day from dawn to dusk.  The Sun is a Peach and its companion title, The Moon is a Silver Pond, are the perfect introductions to metaphor with stunning illustrations using size, shape and texture to teach metaphor. The author’s middle-grade novel, A Boy Named Queen, was a finalist for the Rocky Mountain Book Award, the Silver Birch Express Award, the Ruth and Sylvia Schwartz Children’s Book Award and the Diamond Willow Award.
