richly beautiful tale

Sasso has once again beautifully illustrated a classic Bible tale. After enjoying their first sunset, Adam and Eve are afraid of the dark and worry through the night about the sun's return. There is a rich field of topics in this eye-pleasing book for discussion at all age levels.

Baby Loves the Sun!

What makes this book awesome is the illustrations. Also, although Adam and Eve are the main characters, it's not preachy or ostentatious so you could probably enjoy it even if Adam and Eve aren't part of your family's theological canon.

A triumphant story of hope

Adam & Eve's First Sunset: God's New Day by Sandy Eisenberg Sasso is a multicultural, nondenominational, nonsectarian picture book endorsed for children ages 4 and older by Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish religious leaders. It tells the story of Adam and Eve's first day in the Garden of Eden. At first Adam and his mate Eve enjoyed the peaceful afternoon; then they realized the sun was slipping away, and the air became cold. They were fearful and fell asleep waiting for the world to end, but instead came the glorious dawn of a new day, and they thanked God for creating the light and the dark, as well as all that there is. Impressionably illustrated in full color by Joani Keller Rothenberg, Adam & Eve's First Sunset is a triumphant story of hope that is meant to be shared with children from all religious backgrounds.
