Synopsis

**The cooking of a healthy breakfast moves from parent-child bonding to an eloquent conversation about energy, the growth of plants, and the miraculous ways the sun's light nourishes us all.** *It began with the sun, Who showers the earth With heat and light- Tiny packets of energy.* How does a home-cooked breakfast give a little girl the energy she needs for a brand-new day? In gently expressive language, her mother takes readers on a journey into the earth where sleepy seeds are tickled awake and grow into golden oats; into blueberry patches, where green leaves break apart water and air to build sweet sugar; and into a pasture where sun becomes grass, becomes cow, becomes milk. Author **Laura Alary**'s free verse breaks big ideas into child-sized pieces, making *Sun in My Tummy* an accessible introduction to the concepts of matter and energy, and how the sun's light becomes fuel for our bodies through the food we eat. **Andrea Blinick**'s mixed-media illustrations pair the cozy and homelike with the glowing and dramatic as she takes readers from the kitchen to the farm field and to the sky and back. A concluding Author's Note shares further information about photosynthesis for young readers.
