As an adult I continue to find myself in awe by how much children teach us. One of the most valuable lessons is how much even the simplest of days can become the ones we remember most. Taking a walk, riding bikes, going to the park, singing, counting, dancing, snuggling, enjoying a meal, and all of life’s other simple pleasures are truly what it means to live happily. “Good Morning, Sunshine” was written to capture such a simple day—one that may not seem much in the moment but will be continually reflected upon with pleasure. My children, like yours, continue to grow quickly. While we cannot freeze or turn back time, we can make the most of each moment. As you read through the pages that follow, I encourage you to reflect upon the simple days. Love, cherish, and continue to nurture and grow with your children. After all, our children help bring out the inner child in us. Embrace it and find your happiness. I hope you enjoy.

Good Morning Sunshine came into existence as I sat in my blue room every morning when I woke up. It is a place of peace and comfort for me as I have my coffee. I would read but I'd write as well. To all children readers focus on the sunshine for brightness and angels for peace and comfort as you start your day. Start your day with sunshine and spread it all around the world to encourage others.
