Summer Clothes for Dayna

Summer Clothes for Dayna is a delightful book that introduces the four seasons through Dayna’s choice of clothes as she dresses to go out to play. Dayna tries on different clothes (fall, winter, and spring), but it is only when Mother helps by lifting her to the window to see her backyard with her shiny red-and-yellow swing set with a slide that she realizes she needs summer clothes. Children will learn the seasons, as well as appropriate clothes for each one. They will be excited that Dayna has chosen the perfect clothes for the weather.

This book also portrays a subtle theme of support to children at home and in school. Dayna became aware of the “right clothes” for the weather only when she was “lifted up” by her mother. It is important that as parents and educators, we foster a supportive environment for our children.
