Have you ever asked yourself, Who raises the sun? Explore an assortment of deities from around the world given the important job of lighting our world every day in this exciting and intricately illustrated picture book from author T. P. Theyson.
As readers are introduced to the different gods and goddesses who lift the sun into the sky each day and consider the divine debate over such an important job, they’ll be left with the sense that cooperation, teamwork, and acceptance all go into making our world a brighter place to live.
Featuring stunningly detailed illustrations showing each deity moving the sun farther and farther into the sky, Who Raises the Sun? acquaints children ages three to eight years old with a unique and lesser-explored subject in world mythology. Deities included in the main text include: So’l, Unetlanvhi, Apollo, Surya, Wurpuranili, and Aurora, with more gods and goddesses included in an appendix following the story. To ensure authenticity and respect to the ancient myths and folklore on which this story is based, members of represented communities were consulted.
