Format:Hardcover
I was presented with this book on Christmas Day. Sunshine on my Shoulders has always been one of my favourite John Denver songs, as I a grew up in a house with a huge JD fan for a father. The song always managed to lift my spirits and put me in good form.
I'm now eight months pregnant with my first child and my father bought this book not only for me, but for my baby. The illustrations are enchanting. Simple, yet beautiful and they capture the meaning of the song perfectly.
To have a CD recording of the song included makes it even more special and now I can't wait to read the book with my child, and to sing the along to the song.
With so many amazing children's books out there, like "Guess How Much I Love You", this is a gem that could so easily slip through the net, but I'm sure every parent shares the sentiment of the song that if we had one wish for our children we would wish for sunshine all the while.
A fabulous present for music fans, children of all ages and anyone who's spirits you wish to raise just a little.

A rapturous experience meant to be shared
12 Sep 2003
Format:Paperback
John Denver's Sunshine On My Shoulders presents a picture book version of the hit song by John Denver enhanced with and adapted text and brilliant color illustrations by Christopher Canyon. The charming story presents the adventures of a young girl enjoying the outside world and the thrill of life. A rapturous experience meant to be shared between young and old, John Denver's Sunshine On My Shoulders is a inventive and charming tribute to a fondly memorable tune.

When I first heard of this project, which had John Denver's blessing before his death, I was excited, but unsure that any illustrator could do justice to John's songs. Christopher Canyon has perfectly incorporated the love of children and of nature that John Denver shared in his music. Now I'm looking forward to all the books in this series. Great work, Dawn Publications.I was so overwhelmed by the copies I'd bought for my grandchildren, I turned around and bought one for my friend who, like me, remembers John Denver's lessons daily, and misses his voice always...

Caldecott Material
7 Dec 2003
Format:Hardcover
"Sunshine on my Shoulders" is a beautiful song of the seventies which has been captured perfectly by Christopher Canyon's bright and warm illustrations. One can feel the sun bathing the two characters as they enjoy a summer afternoon. I have been a fan of Canyon's nature illustrations, but "Sunshine" is by far his best effort yet. Members of the Caldecott commitee should take notice.
