Sunshine in the Monsoons
With illustrations by Archana Sreenivasan, Tina Athaide's Sunshine in the Monsoons is a moving grandmother/grandchild picture book that reminds us to look for the silver lining in even the biggest storm clouds. Every year, the rainy season rolls into Miraâs town. For days and days during these monsoons, the sun hides behind thick clouds. Thunder booms. Rain pours. The bright and colorful neighborhood turns gray. With her grandmother, AvĂł, Mira used to know how to find the sunshine in the monsoons. But this year, AvĂł has to stay indoors. With her brother, Pran, Mira goes looking for the sunshineâto find joy on the darkest days and bring it back to AvĂł. Tina Athaideâs lyrical text and Archana Sreenivasanâs illustrations as bright as Fountainhas, the Latin Quarter of Goa, India, come together to reminder us that traditions will change and there will be rainy days, but if you look, a bright pocket of joy is waiting beyond the clouds.
