Poems about the sun—rising, shining, setting—and about the moon and stars comprise this soothing picture book anthology. A thoughtful arrangement begins with sun poems and moves on to poems about the night sky, with Ashley Bryan’s lovely “Song” seamlessly marking the transition: “Sing to the sun / It will listen / And warm your words … Sing to the moon / It will listen / And soothe your cares…” Exquisite shades of gold, indigo, and violet distinguish the illustrations and make a striking visual backdrop for the words of this comforting and quietly inspired collection. (Ages 4–8)

"Renowned poet and anthologist Lee Bennett Hopkins takes readers from sunrise to sunset as he presents whimsical and witty poems that pay tribute to the sun, moon, and stars. This beautiful collection brings together old favorites from the likes of Tennessee Williams and Carl Sandburg and new offerings from such poets as Georgia Heard and Tony Johnston. The brief poems inspire surprise, awe, and wonder as they give room and scope to stunning and thought-provoking paintings by illustrator Mariusz Stawarski."--Penguin.
