The Way to Start a Day

Yesterday we read The Way to Start a Day by Byrd Baylor, illustrated by Peter Parnall during our morning time. (BTW, we love all their books and highly recommend them!) So this morning, as luck would have it, the wee ones and I were up bright and early, well in advance of sunrise on this late November morning. As per the book, Bess made up a song to sing to the sun as it rose this morning, a stunning shade of orange:

Time to come up sun,
Time to come up sun,
Without you the plants can't grow.
Without you we have no light.
Without you we are cold.

Aaaah...it almost makes it worth getting up that early!
