A perfect addition to the rainy-day bookshelf, where joy can be found indoors, knowing the sun will shine again. - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) It starts out as a promising morning for a child, with a father-made breakfast of sunny-side up eggs . . . But when Daddy raises the shades, there's no sunshine outside . . . Through a combination of her own ingenuity and parental nudging, the . . . child comes up with activities to make time pass . . . and an internal sunniness returns. - Publishers Weekly Looking forward to playing outside . . . [a girl is] disappointed to find it's raining and she'll be stuck inside. . . . [She] uses her well-stocked imagination to create games to play by herself . . .
