Lottie and Sunrise

As the farm wakes, Lottie has a quiet friend to visit. Her gentle pony, Sunrise, is waiting by the gate—and together they set out to notice the small wonders of morning.

A hen and her sleepy chicks step into the yard. A sparrow takes a sip from a shining puddle. In the meadow, dew glimmers like tiny suns. With Mama nearby, Lottie and Sunrise take their time, discovering that a peaceful walk can feel like a grand adventure when it is shared.

Lottie and Sunrise is a warm, whisper-soft picture book for children ages 3–5. Its repeated invitation, “Softly, softly, morning,” gives little listeners a comforting phrase to join in with, while gentle animal encounters and simple sensory details make each page a chance to pause and look closely.

• A calm read-aloud for preschoolers and young children
• A gentle story about friendship, family, and noticing nature
• A thoughtful choice for a quiet reading moment or a gift for a young animal lover

Nothing grand needs to happen for a morning to feel special. Follow Lottie and Sunrise on a little farm walk, then settle in with Mama, happy and ready for the day.
