The Sunshine series won the Duke of Edinburgh English-Speaking Union English Language Book Award, in the category 'Best Entry for Children' in 2011. Sunshine, a three-level course designed to teach English to non-native pre-school children, features a host of colourful and charming characters drawn by talented Garnet Education illustrator Doug Nash and written by Marta Graciela García Lorea and Elida Beatriz Messina. The activities in Sunshine aim to encourage the use of repetition, memorization, music, visualisation, drawing and movement to make activities more memorable. Above all, students are given the confidence to learn a foreign language without the pressure of producing language before they are ready, within a secure and positive learning environment
