From Kelsey Gross and New York Times bestselling artist Renata Liwska comes a companion to the stunningly beautiful and lyrical Winter telling the story of a group of animal friends who come together on the Solstice to celebrate the wonder of the summer.

The long summer days are here, and in the peace and stillness of the morning, the forest seems quiet and asleep. But there is always life everywhere if you know where—and when—to look. Solstice is here! On the longest day of the year, friends Squirrel, Raccoon, Bear, Sparrow, Rabbit, Woodpecker, and Deer gather to share the gifts of new light and life that summer brings.

Much like it's companion story, Winter: A Solstice Story, is a charming story of friendship among the woodland creatures.

The cute animal characters gift each other wishes as they celebrate the longest day of the year. I found the words a little clunky in places causing me to stumble over words when reading aloud.
We read this story when learning about the Summer Solstice this year, pairing it with our hands-on activities and lessons.

The illustrations are once again charming, done in an earth-tone palette, keeping a softness to them.

Summer would make a great bedtime story, or even a mid-day read cuddling together before nap time.
