In this accessible introduction to the concepts of matter and energy, and how the sun's light becomes fuel for our bodies through the food we eat, a mother takes readers on a journey into the earth where sleepy seeds are tickled awake and grow into golden oats; into blueberry patches, where green leaves break apart water and air to build sweet sugar; and into a pasture where sun becomes grass, becomes cow, becomes milk.

In simple but expressive free verse, a mother describes to her young daughter how the sun's light becomes the energy in her body through the oats, blueberries, and milk in her home-cooked breakfast. Includes an Author's Note with more age-appropriate detail about photosynthesis.
