Summer Solstice Wish

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. [Publisher's Text]
