"Grandparents are special people. Somehow, they make waking up grumpy, eating your
vegetables, and going to bed when you don’t really want to easier. In Good Morning
Sunshine, little Katie shares how her grandpa teaches her to feel better through the ups
and downs of an overnight visit. Katie’s grandpa wisely shows that a child’s feelings are
real and accepting them as real is half way to helping them deal appropriately with those
feelings. That makes Good Morning Sunshine a twofer. It’s a great warm and fuzzy read
for children and a gentle lesson on good parenting for parents."

"A happy little girl tells readers about the fun she has when she visits grandpa. She loves
to stay overnight, but its not all good––sometimes she wakes up grumpy. But when that
happens, Grandpa takes her to the front door, where they yell, “Good morning,
Sunshine,” and everything’s better. Grandpa has a way of improving every situation by
greeting everything from the clothes in her closet to the raindrops outside. The simple
story does a nice job of showing how much a supportive adult in a child’s life can mean.
The artwork, which resembles the linocuts of Margaret Chados-Irvine, combines simple
shapes and bright colors into warm moments. The final spread, showing the duo against a
night sky twinkling with stars makes for cozy ending."
