This book explores an African pourquoi tale explaining why the Sun and his wife the Moon, live in the sky. The Sun is good friends with Water, who has a very large house. One day while Sun is visiting Water, Water asks the Sun why he is never invited to his home. Water asks Sun to build a larger house so that he and all of the water people can visit. The Sun and Moon quickly get to building their house. The Water people visit and the house becomes so full that the Sun and Moon have to move to the roof, and then it becomes even more crowded that the couple is forced into the sky. There they have remained ever since.
