Sato the Rabbit, Morning Light cover

Follow along on Sato the Rabbit’s wondrous adventures with light, in this fourth installment of the popular series from Japan!

Every morning, Sato the Rabbit opens his eyes to the soft light of day, ready to embrace all that the universe has in store for him.

One day, the bright morning light that peeks out from his curtains becomes a bar that transports him to a forest, where he gathers dappled sunlight into a warm fire and sets the night dew aglow. Another day, Sato wakes up to find his room transformed into a lighthouse floating on the big, wide ocean, where he scoops up the light that comes through the colorful glass windows to create a special signal that ushers in fish and seabirds bearing wonderful treats.

The fourth in the Sato the Rabbit series, this is a charming picture book for all those who imagine and play and dream, who find magic in the everyday, and who open themselves up to wonder.

"Have you encountered Sato the Rabbit before? If not, you’re in for a treat." -- Betsy Bird * A Fuse #8 Production (A School Library Journal blog) *
"Magical... Whimsical... Ainoya once more displays a superb gift for spare prose and playfully unusual illustrations, unfolding into a story of magical realism. Enchanting adventures for the littlest explorers." * Kirkus Reviews *
"The Sato the Rabbit books are pure dreamy, playful magic. Through gorgeous, vivid spreads, this book makes me want to wake up early, live in a lighthouse, drink sparkles, and let my imagination dance." -- Julie Jarema * Hub City Bookshop (Spartanburg, SC) *
“My favorite picture books to read aloud to my own kids at the end of the day are the quiet, meditative ones—the ones with beautiful artwork to slow my heartbeat and gentle text to calm my nerves. To my surprise and delight, my kids seem to love this kind of book as much as I do, so I can’t wait to share the entire Sato the Rabbit series with them. Originally published in Japan, Sato the Rabbit, Morning Light follows a child-turned-rabbit on his perfectly surreal adventures: stirring coffee with a beam of light, roasting stars and mushrooms over a campfire to make a sandwich, bobbing on the ocean in a floating lighthouse, and opening a seashell to reveal a sunset. Any reader who wants to travel for a moment to a magical and peaceful world will find a refuge here.” -- Caroline Carlson * Literary Hub *
