Rupa Raises the Sun

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Rosanne Litzinger. Rupa and the villagers believe that it is her act of tromping around the morning fire with her rooster crying "Ki-ki-ri-ki" that raises the sun. So the morning Rupa wakes with a blister on her toe and asks for a vacation, the village elders must hold tryouts to find someone new to raise the sun. Younger children may enjoy the silliness of these obviously misguided characters and their puppet-like faces drawn with sunny opaque watercolors.
