Booklist - 06/01/2025 When grandfather Sun retires from planetary duties and father Sun is too busy with other projects, little Sun steps up and steps into his light-giving destiny: “It was Sun’s turn to shine.” Energetic illustrations capture the impish celestial body with a wispy flame sprouting from the top of his orb-shaped head, and legs as skinny as matchsticks, joyfully embarking on his new role. Sun tries his best but catches criticism from all corners of the world. The mountains complain he is too small, the clouds gripe about the new colors he makes them wear, and the city thinks he is too bright. Constant comparisons to how things used to be dim his light. In a pep talk, grandfather Sun dispenses simply stated truisms: “There are some in this world who will never be happy.” “Just be you.” Renewed, Sun shines on. This warm picture book will spark conversations about believing in one’s own light. - Copyright 2025 Booklist.
