What is Sunshine at Bedtime about?

Macie notices that summer evenings stay bright long past bedtime. Curious to know why, she sets off on an imaginative journey with Mummy through the sky and beyond. Together, they discover how the Earth spins, orbits the Sun and changes through the seasons, explaining why night-time arrives later in summer. With gentle storytelling, warmth and wonder, this reassuring bedtime adventure introduces young children to day, night and the solar system. A fact-filled section at the end invites further discovery.
