Step back into the summer of 1987 in a small Midwestern town, where three inseparable girls—Rachel, Stephanie, and Chelsea—fill their days with laughter, adventure, and imagination. From backyard kickball games and giant slip-and-slides to magical "Pickle Power" revival chases, every moment is filled with love, friendship, and joy.

But as the seasons of life change, so do their adventures. When their beloved friend Stephanie must go to Heaven, Rachel and Chelsea discover that true friendship never fades—it shines on in every cherished memory and sunbeam.

Stephanie's Rae of Sunshine is a heartfelt watercolor tribute to childhood, family, gratitude, and the power of living each day to the fullest. A gentle, uplifting story for readers ages 6–8—and anyone who has ever loved and lost someone who brought light to their life.
