Bookroo's summary

As Coco sleeps, the sun begins its journey, touching a fisherman's cap, casting shadows in snowy forests, and balancing on an airplane's wing. It crosses cities, deserts, and countrysides, waking creatures and creating rainbows, before finally reaching Coco's window. Experience the wonder of a new day through the sun's eyes, capturing moments of shared experience and natural beauty.

From the publisher

Follow the journey of the sun across the world from a whale’s eye to a little girl’s window in Bob Graham’s tender, transcendent story. While Coco sleeps far away, the sun creeps over a hill and skids across the water, touching a fisherman’s cap. It heads out over frozen forests, making shadows in a child’s footprints, and balances on an airplane’s wing for a little boy to see. The sun crosses cities and countrysides, wakes furry creatures, makes a desert rainbow, and barges into Coco’s room to follow her through a day of play. With an eye for capturing small moments of shared experience, Bob Graham illuminates the natural wonder that comes with every new day.
