Collecting Sunshine

Description

A perfect picture book to share that celebrates the joy of imagination and the wonders of the natural world. Mabel and Robert love to collect things on their walks - leaves and stones and seeds and berries. But when they are caught in the rain and can't take their collection home they have an even better idea . . . A book for those magical days when a walk to the park is nothing short of an adventure.
