This engaging story, told in chapter-like episodes, follows Pinny on a
long, lazy summer day. As sunshine turns to rain and back to sun again,
Pinny searches for a wishing rock, watches clouds, picks wild
blueberries, feeds a seagull, and bakes a cake to share with her
friends.
An ideal book for children beginning to make the jump to independent
reading, Pinny in Summer demonstrates the joy young people find in
nature and an unstructured life. Pinny is allowed to explore her world
freely, and her small setbacks and triumphs will be familiar to every
child.
With charming illustrations by Isabelle Malenfant and a spare, poetic
text from author Joanne Schwartz, Pinny in Summer is a bright and
inviting picture book that captures all the delight of a perfect summer
day.
