How the Sun Got to Coco's House by Bob Graham

How the Sun Got to Coco's House by Bob Graham

With an eye for capturing small moments of shared experience, Bob Graham illuminates the natural wonder that comes with every new day.

"Bob Graham encourages readers to reflect on, and reach out to, the world around them" Guardian

From prolific and multi-award winning writer and illustrator Bob Graham comes an enchanting story about
the sun, and how it makes its journey from the far side of the world to the home of one small girl. While Coco sleeps far away, the sun rises up behind a snowy peak and casts its mellow dawn light for the wandering polar bears. It skims across the icy water, touching a fisherman's hat and catching for a moment in the eye of a whale. The sun races through the countryside, greeting snow cats and bears. High over a desert it meets the rain in a halo of colours... The sun leaps whole countries, chasing the night, before bursting at last in a fanfare of warm golden light through Coco's window!
