Like the spicy sweetness of an ice cold glass of lemonade, the original poems of Lemonade Sun by Rebecca Kai Dotlich promise—and deliver— a shiver of recognition and refreshment. From the classic subjects of "My Lemonade Stand" and "Jacks" to the jazzy rhythms of "Jump Rope Talk" to the lyrical beauty of "Backyard Bubbles," this stunning collection is drenched in summer colors and pleasures. Color illustrations by Jan Spivey Gilchrist add an edgy charm.

Dedication
To my mother, Charlotte Thompson Botkin—for all the love and lemonade days, on Falcon and beyond. And in memory of my father, John Wm. Thompson (1926-1977), the best daddy a little girl could have.
