Review Quotes:
With the gift of a word-wise storyteller Sandy Sasso creates a tale able to inspire children as well as adults. The language is simple, but beautiful as she describes how the sun slipped away from Adam and Eve on their first day on earth. Both try to comfort and keep the sun in the sky only to find that their ideas are not heeded. Their worry is apparent as they find themselves in the dark. Fortunately Adama and Eve discover how to make fire that night. In the moming the sun rises again, thrilling the two. Wild vivid illustrations planted on bright backgrounds pepper the pages. Borders frame anda dd highlights to the pictures. Whether for the story or the illustrations, readers and listeners will want to sweep through this book again and again. The entire package comes from a publisher presenting "multicultural, nondenominational, nonsectarian literature endorsed by Protestant, Catholic and Jewish religious leaders."
