| Publisher Description: I See the Sun in India is the ninth book in the award-winning I See the Sun series. Mila is a bright, happy young girl who shares a day in her life in Jaipur, India.

The story depicts the common activities of life that children will recognize, while simultaneously introducing the culture, language and colors of India. Bilingual in English and Hindi, with glossary and country overview. Suggested activities for classroom and/or home are also included. For ages 5 and up. |
Contributor Bio(s): King, Dedie: - Author, Dedie King, a Peace Corps volunteer in Nepal, also taught school there. She travels extensively and spends a considerable amount of time, not as a tourist, but immersed in many cultures, living with families who open their homes to her. She holds a MEd and has taught elementary school and children with learning disabilities. Her interest in writing books about different cultures is to bring awareness to young children of both the sameness and the differences of cultures around the world. Inglese, Judith: -Judith Inglese has been designing and fabricating ceramic tile murals for public environments for more than thirty years. Her commissions include libraries, schools, hospitals and municipal and institutional buildings like the National Zoo in Washington, D.C. Her murals often focus on the play and imagination of children as well as cross-cultural exchange and community. In the I See the Sun books, she combines photography, cut paper and drawing in her collage illustrations. Like her ceramic tile murals, her illustrations are colorful and detailed with strong forms and line work. |
