A joyful celebration of our daily companion, the sun, as it shines around the world.

If I were the sun, I would sing a gentle morning song to wake my slumbering friends. So begins this fresh and colourful collaboration between author Patricia Storms and illustrator Milan Pavlović, the creative team behind 2019's beloved bedtime story, Moon Wishes.

Join the sun in this gentle imagining of its travels across the sky, lighting up our gloomiest days, celebrating a bountiful harvest, and delighting in the diversity of life around the world.

Milan Pavlović's vibrant watercolour illustrations complement Patricia Storms' jubilant text. Young readers will be warmed by the sun's wishes as they spread through the story, inspiring curiosity, gratitude, and the irresistible urge to step outside!

She is the author of The Dog's Gardener, illustrated by Nathalie Dion, and collaborated with her husband, Guy Storms, to write Moon Wishes, illustrated by Milan Pavlovi. Patricia lives with Guy in Toronto, Ontario, in a cozy old house overflowing with books. MILAN PAVLOVI lives in Toronto with his family. When he is not illustrating picture books, drawing or playing the ukulele, he is teaching visual communication and illustration at OCAD University and Seneca College. He has illustrated over fifty children's books including Son of Happy by Cary Fagan, The Boy Who Invented the Popsicle by Anne Renaud, and Moon Wishes by Guy and Patricia Storms. He created the lyrical wordless picture book Sonata for Fish and Boy.
