The sun isn't sleepy A tale by Arnaud de Buchy Pedagogical content by Emmanuelle Reyss & Jean-Baptiste Lorenzo Illustrated by Sonia Grandame & Joachim Hérissé Le Regard Sonore Editions
One day, the sun was shining it's most beautiful and warmest of sunrays. It was even melting the snow. Moko, who very much liked this country, had noticed something peculiar about it though. He went to find his friend Alarick.
It's strange, Moko said. It seems that the night no longer comes; and the sun no longer sleeps! This is the way it is, Moko, answered Alarick. The sun will go to sleep one night, don't worry. But Moko doubted Alarick. I must find a way to put the sun to sleep, Moko said. And with that, he decided to start walking towards the horizon. Moko left so quickly that Alarick didn't even have a chance to follow him.
On his way, Moko remembered Mei-Li's song… And he thought that it might lull the sun to sleep. He started to sing the song.The sun started to descend towards the horizon, as if it was going to sleep, but suddenly, it climbed back again to the center of the sky.
