With gorgeous artwork and a spare text, an award-winning picture-book creator gently celebrates the natural world through the lens of a sunrise.
As the sun slowly rises, many things happen in a small window of time. The world comes alive with the actions of animals, plants, clouds, and sky. A deer drinks, an owl wakes, a dandelion shimmers in the light. A ladybug climbs, a fish jumps, birds call in a chorus. Geese fly away in formation. A flower blooms. Beautifully illustrated with glowing imagery and written with a charming simplicity holding appeal for new readers, Marc Martin’s ode to the slow-blooming beauty of a sunrise and the life that unfolds in its radiance narrows the lens to show the wonder of time passing.---from the publisher

*********
Sometimes life feels like it's going so fast- one thing after another is happening in a single day and there isn't time to stop and breathe and just be in this beautiful world. Marc Martin has understood that and has created a beautiful book that invites us to sit down with a loved one and share the beauty of the few minutes each day when the sun rises and our day gets into full swing.
The pages are filled with moments. The moments give us a chance to simply enjoy and be there and realize this IS the world we live in and these moments are cradling us every single day.
This is not to be missed. It's a gift.
