Bookroo's summary

In a town shrouded in rain and gloom, a baker crafts a special sun-shaped bread. As the animals savor its warmth, a chain of events unfolds, promising the sun's return. Can a simple loaf change the weather and lift spirits? Discover the magic that lies within this heartwarming tale.

From the publisher

As the rain pours from the sky and wind whips around, everyone in town is blue without the sun in the sky, so the baker makes some special bread that cheers up the animals and that sets off a series of events that quickly leads to the sun’s reappearance.
