Sunshine on My Shoulders — Christopher Canyon

This exuberant adaptation of the famous song by John Denver is sure to make you smile, even on a dark and cuddly evening with your child. It helps if you can sing--the musical score is included--or just pop in the CD that comes with the hardback edition of the book. Sunshine On My Shoulders celebrates friendship, sunshine and the simple joy of being together. A charming little girl and her father (who looks a bit like John Denver) enjoy a day together in the sun with a guitar, butterflies, a cat, a mouse, and lots of other critters. The illustrations abound with light, color and lots of humorous detail. This is the first of the John Denver & Kids series.
