About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when they want to help their child slow down and find the magic hidden in everyday moments. 'Sunflakes' is a classic collection of gentle, observational poems that celebrate the small wonders of a child's world: from the first snow and the feel of wind to seeing your own breath on a cold day.

Perfect for ages 4 to 10, these short, accessible poems are a wonderful, low-pressure way to introduce poetry, build vocabulary, and spark conversations about the world around us. It's a book for sharing moments of quiet wonder together.
