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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eWarm 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eAnd 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e✨ Praise for the picture book debut of \u003cem\u003eNYT\u003c\/em\u003e-Bestselling graphic novelist Leah Hayes! ✨\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e☀️\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e “\u003c\/em\u003eA boy befriends the sun in a story that will fill readers with the deep warmth emanating from its two lead characters.
