Hello, Sun!

A Seuss Studios Book

Look inside
Inspired by never-before-seen sketches by Dr. Seuss, creator Lala Watkins builds a bright and playful story about a worm in this brand-new beginning reader that is the first in the Seuss Studios line of Beginner Books.

If you could play with the sun, what would you do? Would you sing? Dance? Play hide-and-seek?

Join Norbit the Worm, his friends, and the sun itself as they spend a day doing everything they can think of, from swimming and hiking to blowing bubbles and watching the clouds drift by! By encouraging imaginative play, Hello, Sun! keeps kids entertained as they learn to read.

Seuss Studios is a new line of Beginner Books with original stories and art from emerging authors and illustrators. Every Seuss Studios story was inspired by never-before seen sketches from the Dr. Seuss archives, which you can find in the back of each book! Launched by Dr. Seuss in 1957 with the publication of The Cat in the Hat, Beginner Books make learning to read FUN!
Lala Watkins is an illustrator extraordinaire whose work is like
a summer pool party—and everyone's invited! She makes fun illustrations
and lovely stories that make her heart (and yours) emote the heart-eyed
emoji. She graduated with a BFA in Graphic Design and Interactive Communication from Ringling College of Art & Design. She's in a long-term relationship with the sun, so she lives in sunny Florida. View titles by Lala Watkins
