Summer Solstice Wish (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798889835394)

On the longest day of the year, during the summer solstice, flowers explode like tiny fireworks of joy.

A community comes together to savor the golden days of summer and celebrate the summer solstice, by gathering in a large community flower garden. Children pick flowers and weave flower crowns, symbolizing their friendship and connection to the earth, spreading happiness and kindness. Summer Solstice Wish is a joyful celebration of the glorious long days of summer that seem to pass all too quickly.

In the spirit of their picture book Winter Solstice Wish, author Kate Allen Fox and illustrator Elisa Paganelli have returned with another luminous solstice story. This gorgeous book is set in the Pacific Northwest and inspired by a Scandinavian tradition of making flower crowns to mark the summer solstice. Back matter includes information about what's happening, scientifically, during a summer solstice and suggestions for how to make a flower crown.
