I TOUCHED THE SUN

Leah Hayes | Enchanted Lion Books, USA | 64pp | 7.22  x 9.35 inches

A child dreams of flying up to touch the sun. His parents and older brother have no time for such silliness. So he decides to go on his own, drawn by the sun’s bright warmth. Is there a secret to such light? Where does it come from? Is it a part of us, too? Here, the classic journey to the sun is turned on its head, rooted no longer in hubris, but in a child’s search for adventure and warm welcome.
