Acclaimed author Monica Kulling brings sensitivity to this bittersweet portrayal of a loving family affected by homelessness, beautifully illustrated in Irene Luxbacher’s rich collage style. Aunt Pearl arrives one day pushing a shopping cart full of her worldly goods. Her sister Rose has invited her to come live with her family. Six-year-old Marta is happy to meet her aunt, who takes her out to look for treasure on garbage day, and who shows her camp group how to decorate a coffee table with bottle caps. But almost immediately, Pearl and Rose start to clash — over Pearl’s belongings crammed into the house, and over Rose’s household rules. As the weeks pass, Pearl grows quieter and more withdrawn, until, one morning, she is gone. Acclaimed author Monica Kulling brings sensitivity to this story about homelessness, family and love, beautifully illustrated in Irene Luxbacher’s rich collage style.

She will with her children return to her childhood home. ‘Clover View’ is a small farm outside Albion, Michigan owned by her parents. They too have struggled, with the loss of their only son, Bud. Maybe their return to her roots can help her children, her parents and herself put their loss behind them and fine hope for their future. There are problems with this plan as three generations collide while living under one roof. The story deals with understanding ourselves and respecting the needs of others.

If you remember the rolling calf, the nanny goat, or your obsession with mangoes, or if you would like to know more about these things, read on. “With its elements of fantasy and its skillful use of language to create vivid images, ‘Shadows and Sunshine’ will appeal to teens and adults alike.” —Seleca Walker, Language and Communications Lecturer at Mico University College, Jamaica. “The childlike maturity O’Sullivan-Roque brings to her stories is enhanced by the refreshing way in which she uses imagery.” — Joan F. Joyner, retired Judge. “These brilliantly written stories of innocence and intrigue will capture your imagination.” —Mark Schack, Executive Vice President of Oldcastle Inc., former President and CEO of Oldcastle Precast Inc.
