Good Golden Sun

By Brendan Wenzel

Are you ready to play? The mysteries of light are glowing in the dark. Readers will learn how the sun touches all aspects of life on earth.
From animals, to plants, to soil, the sun impacts all life around it. What questions would you ask the sun or the moon? “Do you ever get cold or are you lonely in the sky?” Wenzel explores the night sky and daytime with new friends, outdoor adventures, taste and noise. The illustrations capture the unique setting of the sun, the animals, the flapping of wings and sounds. Watch out for scary things! Hide in the clouds or race with a fox. Are you ready to shine? It’s a wonderful picture book for the whole family. Look up at the stars and create your own mysteries of light collage.
