Description
A little sun has big shoes to fill in this heartening and thoughtful story from New York Times bestselling illustrator and author Derek Anderson. Perfect for fans of Red Jacket and Big Feelings!
Sun's grandfather just retired, and now it's Sun's turn to light up the world. There's just one problem: He's still very small.
He tries his best, but what will Sun do when nobody-not the mountains, the clouds, or the skyscrapers-likes the way he shines?
From the bestselling creator behind Croc and Ally comes a bright, intergenerational story about growing up and gaining the confidence to step into a new role with support and guidance from your family.
