Mole's Sunrise is a beautifully illustrated and movingly written story about a blind mole who wonders what a sunrise is like.
His good friends take him to the lake to show him the sunrise with vivid descriptions like 'it's sizzling in the lake like an egg in a pan of butter'. This helps him to see it in his mind and he is able to imagine the rising sun and experience the beauty for himself.
