As I read this book to my children, I recalled the times when I was sad when the sun would go down after an extremely fun fulfilled day with my friends. There were so many sounds that filled the air...jump rope hitting the ground and the little feet that jumped in the midst of it, and the neighborhood kids calling each other by nicknames for a round of baseball. All the while, taking for granted the ultimate reason for which I was able to play. The Sun! This story took me back to the times when life was simpler, when cell phones did not exists and a PDA wasn't a Portable Digital Assistant, but rather something that you were forbidden to do. Life had its own motion, similar to the sun...calm and laid back. Needless to say, after reading the book to my children they went outside bright and early the next morning and played a little longer in the park. I even caught one admiring the way the sun cast a shadow on the ground between the monkey bars and slide. They knew the meaning, they understood. Life revolves around the sun. We need it and it needs us. Thanks to this author my kids love being outside..and camp at the front door till I give them the okay! Thank you so much Annie...keep it up!!

Both my wife and I read this interesting little childrens book "Our friend the Sun" and were both impressed. Both of us considered how often we complain about things in life and seemingly often take things for granite. This is a lovely pictorial and inspiration to everyone, be thankful for what you have and recognize that we all need a special type "sun" in our lives to survive. So next time its warm or hot on a summer day , don't complain , relish and enjoy it. Like all of us the sun has a purpose in our lives. Great bedtime book for children.
