Rooster has a Gift. Every morning, he climbs to the top of the chicken coop and crows. And like magic, the sun comes up. But one morning Rooster oversleeps, and the sun comes up anyway. Rooster is shocked! What is his Gift, if not to make the sun rise? Pam Conrad's funny and heartwarming tale of self-affirmation is gloriously brought to life with Eric Beddows's rich illustrations.
