For over 100 years, children from two cities separated by a mountain have fought over where the sun rises and sets. One side believes the sun rises from the sea and sets behind the mountain. The other insists it rises from behind the mountain and sets in the forest. But when the children finally climb to the mountain's peak and see the world from above, they discover a truth that changes everything.
This beautifully illustrated allegorical tale from Iranian author Aliasghar Seyedabadi explores themes of conflict, understanding, and unity through the eyes of children. With vibrant artwork by Hadi Baghdadi that brings the bustling cities and diverse characters to life, Where The Sun Rises offers a gentle yet profound meditation on how different perspectives can coexist when we're willing to look beyond our own limited view.
Perfect for sparking conversations about empathy, conflict resolution, and seeing the world through others’ eyes, this picture book speaks to readers of all ages about the shared humanity that connects us all under the same sun.
Translated by Batchelder Award-winning translator Sara Khalili.
