Geena Bean has recently self-published her first children’s book, Come Back Dear Sun, which is available on Amazon. It represents a valuable message to our society today, to get outside and enjoy the sunshine!
Geena Bean been working with kids for over 10 years and she has noticed “how numb kids have become toward human interactions and the celebration of what it truly means to be a child.” Children are becoming more addicted to their iPads, video games, computers, and less involved in outdoor play and imagination. Come Back Dear Sun is a kids book that reminds us all in a subtle, imaginative way to value the sun and outdoor play each day.
Author Geena Bean loves to visit schools and libraries to share workshops and readings with kids in order to encourage them to celebrate their imaginations and creativity, as well as self-confidence and fulfilling their dreams.
“My mission as an author is to use my stories to connect with kids and remind them of their unique talents, gifts, contributions, self-confidence, and endless wonders and imaginations.” -Geena Bean
Come Back Dear Sun Kids Book Review
My kids enjoyed this book and I did too! I liked it’s message which only became clear as you followed the story. Not at all didactic, rather a fun journey with the imagination of a child that my kids got a kick out of and had me reread to on the spot. The story was a good length and fun to read aloud as it has a rhythm and rhyme to it. When I shut the book, we all wanted to go play outside and enjoy our sun.
“This is one of those stories that is just so much fun to read…. especially out loud! It is easy reading and easy listening. That there is a gentle, genuine message with it is an added bonus. This book is creative, thought provoking and entertaining. What more can you ask for? I highly recommend.” -Amazon Review, Susan M.

I received a copy of Come Back Dear Sun with the hopes that I would share my honest opinions. I did not receive monetary compensation and the opinions expressed are my own.

I love the fun facts. The first & second made me laugh – “I was a ballerina at age five” and “gave up my career as a ballerina at age six.” I think being a nanny helps you explore your imagination, especially with the variety of experiences with different children. Most kids love a good story and you are probably a nanny who actually makes kids want to read.

I learned that Geena has different presentations geared towards different grade levels using the book and teaching the students about how to write a book and the process of doing so. That’s pretty neat, when I was younger I wanted to write books so something like that would have really appealed to the grade school me.
