Dasha's Mom -My daughter has been an avid reader since she was 4, so I'm always
looking for new books that interest her. I bought this for her Kindle
Fire. She read it the same night and told me about it. She said, "It's
about a little girl who had nightmares. She got a fairy nightlight, a
bear that doesn't make her scared, and a book that would make her got to
sleep. It's a good book because it made all the family go to sleep. I
need gifts like that to help me not be scared and go to sleep. I really
like this book." She said it was good, so I recommend it to other young
girls.
HarriRomney -A short story written in narrative verse. The author has found a lovely
way of explaining to children not to be frightened of the dark. Being a
mother myself this is an experience shared and related to, which was
enjoyed and easily understood by my children.
A very short sweet story with illustrations that helps a young girl deal with bad dreams. The prose/poetry form is something children really like and enjoy. The illustrations were cute and related well to the story.The story is easily identifiable to young children and will draw them into the solution.
Parent's Little Black Book likes this story for very young children and their parent's. Our age recommendation two through 8.

"Who Will Hug the Sun," is a fantastically written children's book.
Ms Wade, has written this in a way which will not only captivate our children, but the artwork which acompanies it is just perfect.
I think this is definately one for our younger readers.
I love books from which a child can take something away with them, and this one offers just that.

A. E. Drury "Ed Drury"Nice short little bedtime story with illustrations and simple rhyming
cadence very young children should love. This is a nice tool for that
special time of childhood when every child just knows it is not safe to
be in the dark, at least not safe enough to go to sleep! Cleverly done
and richly illustrated, back this book up with a few props like a teddy
bear and perhaps a toy angel or figurine and you are well on the way to
putting your child's fears around bedtime in the past. I'd say this book
is for preschool ages 2 to five or six. Excellent.

HarriRomneyThis is a beautiful short children's story. Very cleverly written, with a
wonderfully moving story line. My children loved this story when I read
it. It also included a very clever little method of explaining to
children what happens during an eclipse (making a difficult concept
understandable for them).
What a delightful little children's learning story book.Wonderful
illustrations and easy reading for the little ones. We will certainly be
reading more of these from this author. Well done.

A little girl called Mhia wants to hug the
sun and finds herself listening to her mother's tale of how the sun had
wanted a hug too, and how difficult it had been for her to get one. The
narrative cleverly gets around to explaining a total solar eclipse in
ways little ones can easily understand. A valuable and simple snippet
of science for the young! The sketches within the book are nicely
executed and go well with the story. The story itself is endearing and
actually quite moving and, as Mhia says, everyone needs a hug! This is a
well-written and enjoyable book which I would recommend to parents as a
read aloud book for their younger children.
Beautiful love story-
Do you know what impelled me to buy the book? The title. It intrigued me; the story engulfed this old fellow.
This love story convinced me that Ms Wade knows how to dive into her inner child's fantasies but convey them as the adult she is. The final outcome was excellent.
Grammar and punctuation? Quite flawless.
My congratulations to the sketch artist.
Alex Canton-Dutari It took me less than fifteen minutes to read this beautiful story -- perhaps because I got into each picture. In
Spanish the Sun is masculine and the Moon is feminine. I was surprised
to read the reverse in English; now I may understand why a car is
feminine in the Queen's language.

This wonderful little book, which is beautifully illustrated by the
author, provides a wonderful metaphor for solar eclipses. It presents a
way to open discussions about and investigations into the solar system,
folklore and the technique of metaphor in understanding complex ideas.

What a spectacular way to introduce children to their first eclipse!
This is a wonderful "first" science book. I would love to see an
entire science series of these. This is the third book of this series I've
read and cannot wait to share. We'll be waiting for more of these little gems.
Children will start to look for more of the sweet "sister" books....

This
wonderful little book, which is beautifully illustrated by the author,
provides a wonderful metaphor for solar eclipses. It presents a way to
open discussions about and investigations into the solar system,
folklore and the technique of metaphor in understanding complex ideas.
It is a story which a child will remember perhaps all their lives and infuses a wonder into their earliest attempt to understand the solar system. Even when they learn more about the solar system, this tale will come back to them. They will learn at some point that solar eclipses are more frequent than once a year, for example, but that is only another teachable moment when children learn about the bigger world out there, the solar system and universe. What Ey Wade has provided is an early starting point for young children to become curious about science and the mysteries of nature. It gives parents a wonderfully entertaining way to spark a life time of shared memories of these images and metaphors. Even an old person like myself can fall in love with this naive desire to "hug the sun" because, well everyone needs a hug sometimes.
Simply wonderful and charming.

My 7 year old, Bri's review of "Who will hug the sun?":
What I learned is what a solar eclipse is.
What made me sad was the part when the sun didn't have anyone to hug.
My favorite part was when the moon hugged the sun.
I thought the ending was good.

A
charming little tale that includes a lesson as well. A child wishes the
sun could have some love too and learns about the lunar eclipse in the
process. Beautifully illustrated, this is a great addition to any
child's bookshelf.
Joyce L. Mitchell Between the Two of Them, a book that reminds everyone of the potential they have when they realize that we are all equal, and we can be anything we want to be if we set our minds to it. This story takes the reader to the inner conscience of us all and teaches the values of self-esteem. Quick read with a powerful meaning. Heartfelt. Loved the drawings, definitely for young readers. Ey Wade has a knack for the written word.
HarriRomney A nice little children's story. It described a child's imagination, thought processes and role (as a sibbling) perfectly.
Nice little illustrations too.
ian This is the second book read to my little ones. The first being 'Who
Will Hug The Sun', and this was great to get them thinking about sibling
rivalry, or rather reasons not to be rivals.
This book, from a young
mind's point of view covers in very simple terms the advantages, in
this case of the middle of three children, of a positive attitude. Of
what is good about the situation. Nice and short and perfect for them to
understand with really nice drawings too.
Very Well Done!,

This review is from: Between the Two of Them (In My Sister's World Book 1) (Kindle Edition)
I couldn't wait to read this one after reading the author's
other books in this series. Ey Wade perfectly addresses
"The Middle Child Syndrome" in her child-friendly way.
Most of us have been there---The middle child.....
It made me think of Jan Brady.....if only Carol could
have read this one to Jan when she was young.. :)
Seriously though, I love the way the author presented the positive
aspects of being in the middle. The ink drawings are wonderful and
are very catchy. Kudos to the artist!

Kathleen Dove A timeless story involving pecking order. I am from a large family and remember being in between two. I like the way the author helps children not only understand the struggles of a child "stuck in the middle," but also focuses on the positive aspects of being in the middle. Gillean can switch back and forth and enjoy the best of both worlds. Children of all ages will not only relate to this story, but will appreciate seeing the familiar lovely little ladies from Ey Wade's other storybooks. The wonderful pen and ink drawings throughout the series are simply fabulous. Ms. Wade is a talented artist and author.
