Sun and Moon have different ideas about what kids and birds and people do all day - so Cloud suggests that each of them stay up a little past their bedtime to see what the other one sees.

In my opinion this is a great book for very young kids. The language of the text is patterned very well that it is easy to follow along. For example, everyday starting with ten days and nine nights, the little girl does an activity, then the page ends with how many days and nights are left. A specific example is, I practice. I have six days and five nights.” The main character is a young girl who is about to receive a new sibling. She is a well-developed, believable character as she prepares for her new sister to arrive. For example, it says “Grandma makes a little pink dress.” This allows young readers to relate if their mother may be having a new baby or if their family may be adopting a child like this little girl and they may become an older brother or sister to a new born. The illustrations enhance the story and the mood of how excited the little girl is for her new sister. For example, it says “At last! I have no days and no nights.” The image that goes with this text is of the little girl running with her arms wide open to her mother who is now holding her baby sister. You can feel the joy and happiness of the little girl as she now has someone new to play with and take care of. The message of this story is that even if you are not directly related to someone, they can still become family. Family is important as long as the ones you love are around.… (mais)

This book is so cute! It is about a big sister awaiting the arrival of her new baby sister. But the best part is the baby sister is being adopted! I think the main message of this book for a child could be that no matter if the person is blood related or not they can be family. Adoption is a wonderful thing, and it has the ability to give a child a life of love that they could of missed out on if a specific family didn't think about adoption. It also shows a different perspective, because you can always get the perspective of the parents, but the soon to be brothers and sister also have feelings, and this book depicts this soon to be big sisters feelings wonderfully. This book is a countdown to the big day, hence the title of this book. It is an easy read, but has a larger picture that it's reader should focus on. Adoption is a dream of mine someday so I really loved this book.… (mais)
