BotM: SUN

Sun by Allison Oliver narrates the tale of a young boy named Sun, who is passionate about soccer yet feels something is missing. Motivated by his brother's creativity, Sun realizes he can also embrace creativity and find joy in art, emphasizing that there are multiple ways to experience boyhood. Together, alongside a fox he encounters, Sun learns not to concentrate so much on a single activity that he overlooks other things that bring him joy.
