Ways to Make Sunshine

fullDescription

From Newbery Honor and Coretta Scott King Author Award winner Renée Watson, the first book in a young middle grade series about Ryan Hart, a girl who is pure spirit, kindness, and sunshine. Ryan Hart can be and do anything. Her name means "king", that she is a leader, and she is determined to keep growing into the name her parents gave her. She is all about trying to see the best in people, to be a good daughter, sister, and friend. But Ryan has a lot on her mind. For instance: Dad finally has a new job, but money is still tight. That means some changes, like moving into a new (old) house, and Dad working the night shift. And with the fourth-grad talent show coming up, Ryan wonders what talent she can perform on stage in front of everyone without freezing. As even more changes and challenges come her way, Ryan always finds a way forward and shows she is a girl who knows how to glow. Acclaimed author Renée Watson writes her own version of Ramona Quimby, one starring a Black girl and her family, in this start to a charming new series.

   • content: Narrator Sisi Aisha Johnson embodies all the joy and light of young Ryan Hart in this instant classic for middle-grade listeners. Ryan tries hard to be the leader her parents named her to be, but her competitive streak keeps getting in the way--whether she's racing at recess or swimming at a slumber party even though it will ruin the hairstyle her grandmother spent so much time on. Despite struggles with a new house, money being tight, and an annoying older brother, Ryan finds a way to shine. Johnson gives each endearing family member and friend a distinctive, realistic voice that complements the character. But it's the boundless energy and compassion she gives Ryan that steal the show.
