Welcome to I Smile at the Sun!
If you grew up reading Dr. Seuss and love fun tongue-twisting rhymes, then you've come to the right place. Judith Barrett Lawson has written an amazing poem book that is not only just for kids but also "Misidentified Grown-ups."  

Renowned Novelist Kaye Gibbons said, "This book is lovely, genuine, and true. It's is about grace, kindness, good humor, and goodwill, things we all need and deserve a few doses of these days."

AVAILABLE NATIONWIDE ON SEPTEMBER 19th, 2023

If you're a parent looking for a fun read-aloud book or a "misidentified grown-up" in need of some childlike wonder, I Smile at the Sun is a great way to let some sunshine in.

 

Between Judith Barrett Lawson's clever wordplay, and the delightful illustrations by Netta Jones, I Smile at the Sun will transport readers on a whimsical journey through childhood -- it's joys, silly mishaps, and small everyday wonders. 

 

Renowned novelist Kaye Gibbons said, "This book is lovely, genuine, and true. It is about grace, kindness, good humor, and goodwill, things we all need and deserve a few doses of these days." 

And 5-year-old super critic, Elsie Stroddard, declared, "My Auntie's book is better than 100 scoops of ice-cream scoops on a cone! But not 101 ice-cream scoops. Just 100."


From the comical "Perfect Child," 
who might not be so perfect after all, to the lovely "Grammy's Hands," 
a tribute to the author's treasured grandmother,
 each poem is a celebration of life.
