Vibrant language and rhythm celebrate the start of a new day in this uplifting poem about a city waking up. On a beautiful, sunny morning, a family runs errands along a city street. They visit a bakery, flower shop and fruit market. Exuberant in sounds and sights–a baker sugaring tarts, flowers greeting passers-by and pigeons cooing–the story ends as a new day of sparkling possibility begins.
