S Is For Sunflower: A Kansas Alphabet
By: Devin and Corey Scillian
Illustrated by: Doug Bowles
Nicknamed the 'world's breadbasket", the contributions from the great state of Kansas reach out far beyond its borders.
Kansas not only leads our nation in wheat production, but has also fueled our Hollywood images of the Wild West (Dodge City) and Dorothy and Toto, as well as giving us leaders in politics (Dwight D. Eisenhower), aviation (Amelia Earhart), and literature (Laura Ingalls Wilder and Langston Hughes).
The people, places, and landmarks of the Sunflower State are thoroughly explored with delightful rhymes and detailed expository text by authors Corey and Devin Scillian. Artist Doug Bowles brings a strong and colorful touch to the illustration of each letter.
S is for Sunflower explores the broad plain of history and people that make up the state of Kansas from A to Z!
Hardcover; 40 pages
ISBN: 978-1585360611
