"Today will be a scorcher!" the farmer says, and it is—until the storm comes up. Then the little boy stands beside his father and watches it rain, and afterward enjoys the cool freshness as the sun sinks in the west.

In Sun Up, Alvin Tresselt and Roger Duvoisin have evoke the mood of a hot summer day and the emotional release that everyone feels when the heat is finally broken. Children will linger over the pages and return to this book again and again—for it has transformed an incident of everyday life into a pastoral poem.
