For graduation, for Mother's Day, for Valentine's Day, for every day: a resonant celebration of the joys and challenges of growing up . . . and life itself. There's That Sun Again is a beginner's guide to the rhythm of life. Follow two children through one extraordinary, ordinary school day. They swing from sunbeams, bathe in crashing waves of noise and tide pools of quiet, fall down, get up, and walk home on air, band aids on elbows, ready for rest in loving family's arms. Each high--the beautiful sun--meets with a low--its unbearable heat--which is followed by something else entirely different--rain --that makes each piece of the day feel like an important part of the same puzzle. Across the course of the book, these two children will find each other, and rescue each other, again and again. Being a child can feel like being buffeted along by a huge force out of your control. At any moment, something incredible could happen--but so could something scary, or sad, or hard--and everything is always changing. Learning to cope means learning the cycles, the things you can depend on. This book illuminates that cycle, showing that every day has its ups and downs and back agains--and empowers readers to meet this emotional turbulence with strength, self-knowledge, and wonder. Mk Smith Despres's effortlessly poetic text soars and dips, capturing bliss, sorrow, calm and uncertainty with a crystal-clear lens. Julie Benbassat's artwork is nothing short of unforgettable. There's That Sun Again is cut from the best cloth of fantasy: the kind whose magic reflects the world exactly as it feels.

A sad sack frog, who bemoans his inability to sing like a bird, discovers the vital role he's meant to play in his woodland home in this debut picture book from Mk Smith Despres, gorgeously illustrated by award-winning artist Hyewon Yum.Every morning as the sun rises, Bernardo the frog loves greeting the day by listening to the beautiful birdsong that fills the woods with joy. Inspired, Bernardo attempts to sing, too... but his croaking voice doesn't quite have the same effect. No matter what he does, Bernardo feels graceless and like he just doesn't add up. Dejected and down in the dumps, Bernardo sees no place for himself, until a woodland neighbor praises the hushed sounds that dusk brings, thus awakening Bernardo to his place in the woods' great symphony.
