Where the Sunrise Begins
Where the Sunrise Begins
by Douglas Wood
illustrated by Wendy Popp
Simon & Schuster 2010
ISBN: 978-0-68986-172-7 (hardcover)
In the style that has made Douglas Wood a bestselling author, he asks the question, Where does the sunrise begin? He answers it by starting in the world of one child, and moving to another farther away, and then still to the far reaches of the world, before bringing the text back home again. Stunning artwork adds a beautiful sweeping look at a complex yet simple world, one in which the sun always rises to dawn a new day, a new life, a new chance.
