Nobody Kisses the
Sun Goodnight
Domenica
is a little girl who wants to stay up late.
She asks question after question to try to put off the inevitable. One
night she asks her father,
"Daddy, who kisses the
Sun goodnight?"
When her dad tells her that no one kisses the Sun, she feels
sorry for it and is determined to end its loneliness.
Follow Domenica as
she finds her way to the
Sun itself!
This
story is based on my daughter who has a great imagination. Her dolls have
appetites, her stuffed animals can be blamed for making a mess, and her
dog nods when she asks her questions. Domenica in Nobody
Kisses the Sun Goodnight sees that someone has been forgotten. That
someone is the Sun. Domenica is someone who just doesn't accept the word
no. She keeps going until she reaches her goal. I wish I was more like
her.
