A sunset question with a globe-spanning answer

River’s familiar view of the sun setting in California leads to a question about where it goes at night. With help from her parents and great-grandfather in Kenya, she encounters the earth’s rotation and the way sunset and sunrise happen in different parts of the world at the same time. The explanation connects an early science concept to River’s family life: though relatives are separated by distance, they share the sun, and nightfall for one can mark a new beginning elsewhere. The book brings concepts of time and the natural world together through a child’s curiosity about an everyday sight.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young children exploring day, night, and basic ideas about time
  • Families introducing earth’s rotation and the relationship between sunrise and sunset
  • Readers interested in stories that connect science with family across distance

Book overview

River loves watching the sunset. From her home in California, she watches it set at Joshua Tree National Park and Del Mar beach, but she is always left wondering where it goes when it disappears each night.

River's parents as well as her great grandpa (GG) in Kenya help her understand the earth's rotation and the sun's journey across the globe, bringing sunset to one side of the world at the same time as sunrise to the other. Although River's family is separated by distance, these shared moments under the sun bring her a sense of connection and unity, and she is able to then bid farewell to the sun at night knowing that it marks a new beginning for others on the opposite side of the world.

Designed to spark curiosity, Where is the Sun's Bedroom? is the first installment of the Mr. Sun, Ray Me a Story series. Exploring the natural world with topics covering everything under the sun, the series encourages young minds to delve deeper and helps them understand the world around them.
