She Opened Her Eyes by Douglas Hay is a picture book that explores what the Sun does from the moment she opens her eyes. As the Sun watches the inhabitants of Earth start their day, she sees water flowing, bees buzzing, and people heading off to their destinations. Her light, all the while, illuminating their way!
The Sun does so much for Earth; without it, we would cease to exist. Her light offers life. For instance, it helps trees grow very tall. It also assists those in their travels, such as boats at sea. It works very hard while the Moon sleeps, and then they switch places when the Moon wakes up.Â
This picture book was very short, with only a handful of words on each page. The text style choice gave the impression that a child wrote each letter. There were O's that weren't completely closed and H's where the horizontal lines didn't touch both vertical side lines. The design was unique, and the book was short enough to hold the attention space of a toddler, the youngest age in Amazon's target audience. This story could be used for those starting to read on their own, but keep in mind that some letters might be hard for them to figure out due to how the words were written on the pages.Â
She Opened Her Eyes does as the book's summary states: it honors the Sun, Earth, and Moon. It doesn't go in technical terms or give many specifics on its benefits. If you're reading this to a four or five-year-old, also in the writer's recommended audience, you can discuss and explore more ways the Sun helps Earth and all its inhabitants. Possibly discuss the importance of the Moon, too.Â
