The Last Drop of Sunshine

Guilou lives on the top floor of a large apartment building; from her bedroom window high in the sky she can hear the buzz of the city and the musical voices of her neighbors’ accents of Haitian, Spanish, and German, as well as plain ol’ English. The sounds of her neighborhood make her happy. On Saturdays Guilou is all smiles because her mother does not have to work, and she and her mother can play the 'sunshine bubble' game. But when Guilou’s bottle of sunshine bubbles is nearly empty, she decides to hide the last drop away and save it forever. Things are starting to pile up on Guilou. She’s worried about her father’s absence and her mother’s working hard all week. Her good friend is sick, and she doesn’t know how to cheer him up, and now this--her 'sunshine bubbles' are almost gone. Join Guilou as she learns that helping others is sometimes the best way to help yourself.
