From the warmth of the sun's early rays to the spectacular colours of sunset, a young boy connects to nature and finds joy throughout the day.
As he awakes in the morning, a child feels the sunshine through his window. The boy appreciates his connection to the sun, despite how far away it is, just as he appreciates his connection with his mama.
Excited and energised, he spends the day with Mama. They plant seeds, splash each other with water, and dance; all while letting their minds find peace. As the day winds down, they take a walk up their neighbourhood hill, letting go of stress and marvelling at the beautiful colours of the sunset.
The Thank You, World series features lyrical stories about appreciating nature, connecting with our senses, and being present in the moment. These soothing books help young readers let go of stress, observe without judgement, and remain optimistic; even when the sun isn't shining.
Thank You, Sun:
Thank You, Sun shows how to connect with one another, appreciate nature, quiet our worries, and allow our minds and bodies to wander in grateful contemplation.
