A joyous celebration of the sights and sounds of daybreak and that special feeling a brother and sister have when they get to experience it together.
When everything is still gentle and quiet-ish and the stars say good morning at the same time they say good night, a brother and sister venture outside. They marvel at the dance of the snails and the birdsong that surrounds them. And then they join in, reveling in the early morning--and their time together before the rest of the world wakes.
With lyrical language and beautiful art, this book captures the magic of daybreak, the importance of small moments, and the special bond between siblings.
