This book tells the interesting vacation stories of the sun and the dog Doji. They created constellations in the Milky Way, played hide - and - seek in the sunflower forest, swam in the volcano, and even ate bonfire ice - cream. The sun enjoyed its vacation to the fullest until it heard from the news that the rainy season was over, and then it ended its vacation and returned to work.
Just like these recent unbearably hot days, we can clearly feel that the sun is working hard. However, with frequent rainfall in summer, every time it rains, it's as if the sun is on vacation. When the weather is extremely hot, we really hope the sun will go on vacation soon. But if it rains continuously, we start to miss it. After all, only when the sun comes out can we play outdoors with friends to our heart's content.
Reading the sun's vacation story gives a sense of happiness. Following the hard - working sun on this vacation journey, I can't help but recall the wonderful vacations I spent with my family. Those vacations were always filled with laughter and the taste of happiness.

The sun has been working hard all summer,
Making us extremely hot.
It must be exhausted from being so busy for such a long time.
But does it really have to wait until it rains to rest?
What if it takes a break in the cool autumn, even if it doesn't rain?
When the sun takes a rest, let the clouds take over and work well.

The weather station issued a weather forecast, announcing that the rainy season officially begins today. At the same time, the sun starts its vacation~
The sun dives into the fun things it usually has no time to enjoy!
It happily eats bonfire ice - cream, takes a refreshing "sea bath" in the lava, and dives into the sunflower field to play hide - and - seek.
Look how happy it is playing with the hot dog (the dog)! Maybe because the sun is really "hot", that's why even its friend is called "hot dog"!
After having fun and returning home, the sun checks the weather forecast and learns that the rainy season, which has lasted for a while, will clear up tomorrow. The sun's vacation ends here! It leisurely gets ready to go back to work!
Finally, the last raindrop also goes on vacation.
This book describes the weather changes so interestingly and vividly that it's really fun to read!

"What does the sun do if it rains?"
This childlike and curious question is the wonderful opening of this picture book.
Look, the sun is fishing for stars with a frog in the vast Milky Way;
Playing hide - and - seek with friends in the brilliant sunflower bushes;
Swimming freely in a volcano with surging lava;
Having a great time with friends at a lively party.
Before the rain stops, it enjoys its short - lived free time to the fullest.
It really makes you wonder what new and interesting games are ahead of it.
After the rainy season passes, the real summer is coming.
This is a happy story of enjoying the hot summer. In the book, not only cute little animals like dogs and frogs, but also the natural elements that are usually hard to notice have become our good friends. Looking at the pictures of the sun playing and laughing with friends, the vitality and dynamism seem to overflow from the pages. Even if you read this book on a gloomy rainy day when you're in a low mood, you can be infected by the positive emotions it conveys, learning to have fun in the rain and enjoy the rest time.

After the rainy season, midsummer is approaching. Imagine that on those unbearably hot days, the sun hanging high in the sky, its scorching sunlight may not be so annoying anymore. Because we already know that there is a wonderful story hidden behind it that can make us enjoy the summer happily!
