To the bringer of life!
As the sun rises, its rays gradually awaken the creatures of the wild. The soft light prompts birds to sing with their sweetest voices and illuminates the leaves and wildflowers. The sun’s warmth invigorates ants, bees, and butterflies, giving them the energy they need to start their day. From dawn till dusk, countless living beings are affected by the sun’s arrival and departure.
We picked this book for its title. This book is a beautiful journey through the lush rainforest, showcasing this unique environment's richness.

The author has incorporated many words from this language into the text, adding an authentic touch to the book. The oil canvas-style illustrations are a charming addition that enhances the reader’s experience.
