Eva Evergreen, Semi-Magical Witch by Julie Abe

Sparkling in the light streaming through the window, the whole town of Auteri was made in sugar. Each building was spun out of golden sugar strands, down to the curtains on the windows and the cobblestones in the street. In the glowing afternoon rays streaming down, the sugary town was radiant.

First Rays

The Coming of the Bear by Lensey Namioka

Dawn was on the point of breaking when they approached the river—a stream, actually; they could see where it branched off from the main body of the river a little way up. The shallows near the banks were still frozen, but water was running in the middle of the stream. By the time they reached it, the first rays of the sun touched and gilded the surface of the water.
