His mother says it's too far away. His dad says it’s too hot. And his brother says he has more important things to do than get involved. But none of this discourages a young boy from pursuing his plan: to fly up into the sky to touch the Sun, whose beams always feel so nice on his skin. And so off he goes, all by himself.
Warm and kindly, the Sun shows the boy the world from her perspective: her friends the clouds, the beaches on which she shines down, the trees whose growth she has nurtured, the rainbows she creates. In return, the boy shares with her his dreams, fears, hopes, and uncertainties - complexities of the human condition that the Sun, as a cosmic force of light, has never experienced. Through this experience, the boy comes to understand the pattern of light and shadow that makes up every human life.
