Publisher Description
A stunning celebration of our Sun and the universal ways in which it connects each of us, all around the world.
No matter who you are or where you live, the Sun graces us all. It wakes us up, lights our breakfast tables, warms our play, lifts our moods, grows our food, and gives us life! From Madagascar to Thailand, Iran to the Netherlands, Brazil to Mali, each spread depicts children in a different country enjoying the universal benefits of the Sun. From sunup to sundown, this deceptively simple yet stunning picture book offers a wondrous sense of worldwide connection via the glowing star around which we orbit.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Using flat, graphical forms and a limited palette of blues, greens, and oranges, Ejaita creates visually striking digital spreads that show largely fancifully hued children around the world experiencing the sun's light. On an early page whose locale is labeled as Japan, sunlight wakes two children, one of whom stretches while the other snuggles in. In another, children wearing sunglasses cavort on a playground in Brazil: "The Sun helps to lift our mood, so we feel ready for fun!" Writing in the voices of children in various countries, Ejaita catalogs all the sun does, from providing shadows to feeding "our trees, our air, and our water," underscoring individuals' enjoyment of the sun's intergalactic gifts. Ages 3–5.
