- I believe it was Winter and Summer, but it could've been Day and Night, Sun and Moon as well. The idea was that most of the world was ruled by Summer, who had long orange hair. There were other personified natural elements like a flower, cloud, and star. Winter (who looks like a Jack Frost) then feels jealous and sends his fleet to make the entire world dark and cold. Winter had a personified Thunder cloud, and Snow to help him. I think in the end Summer makes Winter change his mind by coming to a compromise where they would both split the day. It was meant to explain why sunsets happen.
- I read it around 2005-2008, so the book is probably from either the 90's or 00's.
- The pages were A1 sized, so the illustrations were very detailed and beautiful. The book in total couldn't have been more than 25 pages.
- I think the cover had Summer, Winter, and the Star. The background was mostly navy blue.
