Sunflower Kid Stephen Bedwell Jr

An open-minded, young boy embraces new experiences and a new way of living. This is exactly what happens to Sunflower Kid on his weekend visit with his aunt and uncle. In this rhythmic and poetic journey, Sunflower Kid explores an Earth-conscious lifestyle where he learns about a yurt home, solar power, composting toilets, plant-based eating, growing food, and yoga. In his journey, Sunflower Kid encounters a wise animated sunflower who provides him with knowledge about kindness to animals. Young readers are able to visually and poetically experience an alternative possibility where less harm is caused to the Earth and animals. Sunflower Kid is truly an emphasis of a harmonious lifestyle that will appeal to anyone. It allows a very important message, one of compassion and whole food, plant-based living, to flow within the minds of all who are blessed with its creative narrative.
