Customer Reviews

Please, please, please reprint this book!

I have two sons to whom I read every night. By far, of all the children's books I have ever read to them, this is my favorite. It can get tiresome reading certain books over and over again, even though I have a huge selection for them. Not so with this one. If I've had a rough day at work or am tired, it's the book I reach for. I feel more at peace and appreciative of life after I read it. My sons love it also. The colors from the illustrations are so luminous, playful and vivid. The feel/message of the book is the other real draw: one of appreciation for nature, particularly the sun. We are connected and enlivened by it, all of us--man, plant, animal, even insect. I came here looking to buy several copies for friends and another copy for myself, so that each of my boys could have it as a keepsake for their own children down the road. If anyone knows where I can get a copy, please email me!

My Secret Sunrise

I am a huge fan of Jasper Tomkins and own every one of his children's stories, but this one is a book that adults and children will enjoy. I wish it was still in print so that I could buy it for all my friends to read to their children.
