A young boy goes on a journey to meet the Sun and discovers his
inner light, in this wondrous picture book debut from the
NYT-Bestselling graphic novelist of Not Funny Ha-Ha. “A boy
befriends the sun in a story that will fill readers with the deep
warmth emanating from its two lead characters. I wasn’t prepared
for this book and the affecting warmth of its
wisdom.” —Cartoonist and illustrator R. Kikuo
Johnson "A beautiful exploration of the inner light in all of us."
—Cartoonist and animator Dash Shaw His mother says it's too
far away. His dad says it's too hot. And his brother says he has
more important things to do. But none of this discourages a young
boy from pursuing his plan: to fly up into the sky to touch the
Sun, whose light always feels so nice on his skin. And so, off he
goes, all by himself. Warm and kindly, the Sun shows the boy the
world from her perspective: her friends the clouds, the beaches
upon which she shines down, the trees she's grown, the rainbows she
creates. In return, the boy shares with her some of his dreams,
fears, hopes, and uncertainties—complexities of the human
condition that the Sun, as a cosmic force of constant light, has
never experienced. In this way, the boy begins to understand
something about the pattern of light and shadow that
makes up every human life. And when it's time to part ways,
the boy returns home to his family changed, with an inner light
that reminds him that the cosmic force of the sun is in him, too,
always, though darkness falls, though he sleeps and dreams, though
doubts and fears and gloominess come, too.
