FOUND : Sunshine by Jan Ormerod

I'm searching for the name of a picture book that either has no words or few words. The illustrations led the story more than anything, and it felt kind of artsy. The illustrations used a lot of warm colors - browns, reds, and yellows which I think helped give it a sun-soaked and 70s vibe to it? It was about a family waking up and enjoying a slow morning together.

The details I remember for sure include:
Dad was in a red robe
There was a mom and a daughter
There was a lot of warm colors, from the sun shining in, and it also had almost a 70s vibe to it if I remember.

Details I'm fairly certain of:
They snuggle in bed or get out of bed - they possibly shared a 'family bed'
The dad has a mustache and glasses and brown hair
They make breakfast?

I was born in '93 so this book was likely published before the year 2000 or even earlier.

Your description reminds me of Pancakes for Breakfast, but it's been a long time since I picked it up, so it may not fit exactly. If you're reasonably sure it didn't have words, there's a tag for wordless picture books (several, actually, but the most commonly used tag sitewide is 'wordless') and scrolling through there might be of use.
