While it's not exactly accurate in its idealization of cultures around the world, we need to remember that this is for children, and the point of the book is to say that everyone is united in recognizing the importance of the sun. Many people around the world greet the day. It's a very artistic and beautiful book.

This poem is beautiful. This book spoke to me.
I love the simple lines of text with lovely rhymes and I especially love this artwork. It looks like liquid rivers of color rolling down the page in beautiful displays, but it’s making skies of sunrises. It is simple brilliant artwork. I absolutely love it.
This is a great beginning book. It’s a way of thinking about a new day. Sing up the sun with your own song of greeting each day as is done all over the world. I need to take this to heart.
The niece was interested in all the colors and the idea of greeting the new day. She enjoyed this too. She gave this 4 stars. The nephew was interested in this story a little. He thought the artwork was cool, but he didn’t get swept up in the story. About halfway through this short book he said, ya ya ya, we got it, sing to the sun. He gave this 3 stars.

Poetry is paired with super sparse illustrations that remind me of the illustrations dentists used to have in their office.
