The Sunshine Foundation

"I am proud and excited to announce the formation of an initiative to help build our children’s self-esteem," said First Lady of Louisiana Alice Foster in 1997. "What started with the simple desire by three women to give something or do something special for children, has blossomed into a beautifully illustrated book which is designed to build every child’s self esteem, to stress the value of every child, to encourage reading to and by young children, and to strengthen the bonds between adults and children."

The
"You Are Sunshine" book illustrations and text were donated by Lisa Homan-Conger and Shirley Porter, respectively.

 

Children

"It gives you energy to love the whole world and makes you
happy.  Sunshine is so bright that it can scare away all thunder
and lightning in my life."

"It means that I can be loved and have warm feelings."

"It's ok if my mommy and daddy fight over the checkbook-they
will get their sunshine back-- and so will I."

"I'm not having bad dreams anymore."

"I can have whole sunshine now at both of my parents' house.
I use to have to split my sunshine between them and it didn't
leave any  left over for me."

"I know that my sun can shine over the whole world and that's
a good thing."

Parent

"...My son is having a hard time with all the hurdles he is facing.  His father is not a part of his life and although he doesn't know him, he still misses having a father.  He sometimes blames himself for things that have happened in his life, and this book will help him understand that he is not the cause of this."

"I want to say thanks and we really love the book...after getting the chance to read it myself, I can't tell you how overwhelmed I was...The book is just great and covers a topic that is vitally important to all children."
