In this book about shade, kindergarteners are exposed to the rays of light from the sun and what happens when they are obscured. By using examples such as umbrellas and tents, this book clearly explains this concept. Your readers will apply the concepts explored here out into their world whenever their family goes camping, or it rains. This fiction book is paired with the nonfiction book, Nancy’s Beach Umbrella, for connecting across texts and comprehension through connection strategies.
