Written by G.E. Bryant and published by Dog Ear Publishing, Nirvana’s Sunshine Babies uses beautiful illustrations to teach children the importance of love and acceptance.
Nirvana is a dragonfly who lives in the magical land of Lotusport, where all dragonflies live. Lotusport has no sunshine and as a result, there is hardly any color there and very little food to eat. One day a wise dragonfly named Shaman tells Nirvana that she is going to have very special babies who will help the town. Everyone is shocked when Nirvana’s babies are born because unlike other dragonflies, they have bright yellow heads! Poor Nirvana and her children are shunned everywhere they go for being different.
Finally something amazing and magical happens and Nirvana’s babies bring sunlight to Lotusport. In the end, all the dragonflies are grateful to Nirvana and her “sunshine” babies for bringing color and food to the town.
Nirvana’s Sunshine Babies by author G.E. Bryant, is a whimsical tale with a deeper message about how people react to diversity. Young readers will question why the other dragonflies are so mean to Nirvana and her babies, which will open the door for a conversation about love and acceptance of others, even when they are different from everyone else.
Children will love the bright and colorful illustrations in Nirvana’s Sunshine Babies. Each page is pleasing to the eye and invites you in to the magical world of Nirvana and the other dragonflies of Lotusport.
