The Day the Sun and Moon Forgot to Take Turns

Written by Sonal Bhardwaj
Illustrated by Sonal Bhardwaj

'Cuck-doo-koo!' Have you ever wondered what would happen to a hen (and everyone else on Earth), if the Sun and the Moon forgot their agreement? Hop on to discover the topsy-turvy chaos that follows when day refuses to end and night stays too long. Children can’t sleep, birds don’t know when to sing, and even the plants feel tired! As the Sun and Moon argue in the sky, a quiet, unexpected voice steps in to help bring balance back. A gentle, humorous story about what happens when we forget to take turns and why agreements matter.

Suggested age, readers, English difficulty and US school grade are separate labels. Age groups are guidance based on source information or editorial review; unreviewed books are “Not assessed”. A US grade is assigned only with source information or a documented assessment; otherwise it is “Not assessed”. Levels use A1–C2 to indicate reading difficulty. StoryWeaver levels 1/2/3/4 use our approximate A1/A2/B1/B2 guide, labelled “estimated”; this is not an official equivalence. A book-specific assessment takes priority. Other unassessed books are labelled “Not assessed”. Source StoryWeaver levels are retained separately. Classics retain their original English.
