From the bestselling and award-winning creator of They All Saw a Cat comes a bold and playful exploration of how the sun touches all life on earth—perfect for celebrating Earth Day!
Good golden sun, there is much we’d like to know! Are you happy? Are you lonely? Are you feeling well today? Does your belly ever ache? Won’t you come down to play?
From sunbeam, to flower, to insect, to animal, to plant, to soil, and the earth itself…the sun makes, moves, and transforms life all around us. Celebrate the mysteries of light from sunup to sundown as it weaves its way through creation inspiring change, hope, wonder, and curiosity.

Using a bold, young collage-style art perfect for fans of Eric Carle, Brendan Wenzel's mastery of visual storytelling is on full display in this ebullient exploration of the life-giving power of our nearest star.


Brendan Wenzel is the New York Times bestselling author and illustrator of the Caldecott Honor Book They All Saw a Cat, as well as the acclaimed picture books Every Dreaming Creature, Two Together, A Stone Sat Still, Hello Hello, and Inside Cat. He has also illustrated numerous works for children, including Some Pets and Some Bugs by Angela DiTerlizzi and Life by Cynthia Rylant. With a great affection for all things furred, feathered, and scaly, he is a proud collaborator with many groups working to protect and conserve wild places and creatures. Brendan lives in Brooklyn and invites you to visit him at brendanwenzel.info.
