In May 1917 while World War I raged across most of Europe, three shepherd children of a remote mountain village of Portugal met a beautiful woman they called Nossa Senhora. Hear the youngest, 7-year old Jacinta Marto, describe what the next three years would bring to them and their small village. Witness the day the sun danced for 70,000 Portuguese on that remote pasture of a dormant volcano. The story is accompanied by authentic photographs over a century old and reveals the effects upon the world when children are persistent in telling what they experienced against unrelenting disapproval of parents and those in power. This absorbing and lively and lyrical tale of song and dance entertains and, more importantly, reveals how sorrow can bring unexpected hope.

Originally published in 2017 for the centennial of the amazing historically-recorded event of the day the sun danced, this second edition remains a short read of 87 pages from readers from 10 to 110 that has been updated with events as recent as 2023.
