Produktbeschreibung

In this touching rhyming book about family and friends, an ordinary star looks at all the wondrous things in the night sky. Why would anyone pay any attention to her when there are countless stars like her out there? But as she takes a harder look, she discovers how she, together with her family and friends, are more extraordinary than all the others. Makes a great gift for ages 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and grades K to 2. Inspiration For This Book: The following is 100% hokey but also 100% true. When Mr. Sun's younger son Ryan was born, Ryan had a hard time sleeping. Good or bad, Mr. Sun held Ryan to sleep every night. He didn't want to use his phone next to Ryan's head so he had a lot of empty time to drive himself crazy through boredom. Fortunately Mr. Sun is good at living in his own world. As a father, he had a newfound understanding of something he had long grappled with, being told he was special. Growing up, he and those his age were often told they were unique snowflakes. He believed it, but after graduating college, trying to get a job during the dot com bust and then living in China for a year and a half, he didn't feel special and didn't think the world did either. That feeling persisted up until his oldest son Nathan was born. After holding Nathan for the first time, Mr. Sun understood that he was special, maybe not to the world but to Nathan (hokey but true). While holding Ryan to sleep, Mr. Sun was reminded of that feeling and was inspired to write this book. Perhaps other parents can empathize with this hokey experience.

Autorenporträt

Alexander Sun is an indie children's book author writing as Mr. Sun. He was born and raised near San Francisco and later moved near LA to work at a game company, Blizzard Entertainment. He was there for 11 years and loved his job but after having his first child Nathan, Alexander switched careers to have a better work-life balance, salary and career growth opportunities. He was employed at Marriott as a UX designer when the pandemic hit and was furloughed which freed up a lot of his time. His second son Ryan was also born around this time and at night while trying to get Ryan to sleep, Mr. Sun would think about ideas for children's books. Later, he found a job designing government software but continued writing because he and his children enjoyed the books so much. He loves sharing his creative passion by involving his kids in the story creating process and also by playing Legos with them. In his books, Alexander uses the pen name Mr. Sun to be more accessible to children. Just like with teachers, parents can think of him by his first name Alexander while children can by his last. In everyday life, Alexander goes by Alex, but it's easier for people to find him on the Internet if he goes by Alexander for his books. In real life, he doesn't refer to himself in the third person like he's doing in this About section and instead talks more like a normal person.He hopes that by reading his books with your children, your parent-child bonds will be strengthened and that it will promote your children's passion for reading. He also hopes they'll help you get your children go to bed so you can enjoy the rest of your evening in peace. Mr. Sun thanks you for your support and hopes to be able to write more children's books in the years to come.
