4.0

Age: Infant-1st grade

Similar to The Silver Button, Graham explores various cultures around the world as he charts the progress of one item. This time, we follow the sun as its light touches various parts of the world until it reaches Coco's room. Graham's minimal text holds such lyrical wonder, especially evident in the curiously inviting first sentence: "It had to start somewhere." For such a conceptual idea (the sun came from somewhere else before it entered your bedroom) Graham achieves it while opening up dialogue and provocation to search for more in-depth scientific answers.
