Resonant and uplifting, Dearest Sunchild is a poetic hug from a father to his daughter — wrapped with tender affirmations of self-love and assurances of their intrinsic special gifts.
More than just another children's book, this heart-lifting keepsake intends to remind our young Black and Brown queens that they are deeply loved, highly favored, and most importantly: enough. But as much as it speaks to our children, Dearest Sunchild also delivers a love-filled read for the parents and guardians — honoring those moments felt when "I Love You" doesn't fully capture the breadth of how much they mean to you.
Cling to your glow, and keep making the sun smile
