Review

This picture book story of the Sun's daily appearances as the earth rotates through one dry will leave readers viewing the Sun in a whole new light. The author/illustrator has chosen wonderful action words to bring the sun to life and paired the text with soft colored illustrations touched by sunlight in ordinary and extraordinary ways. The sun is such a welcome presence on a Winter day. The reader is given a glimpse into the dawning of the day in countries from East to West, ending with Coco's house. This quiet book will help awaken awareness in young readers of just how big the world is. Great as a calming story time read aloud or for a cozy bedtime read.

Overall Book Score: excellent
