Produktbeschreibung

Why is Ivy's best friend mad at her and why won't he come out to play anymore? She didn't do anything wrong! She tried yelling at him but that didn't work and she doesn't know what else to do! Can Mom's love help Ivy and Ivy's friend get through this difficult time? In this heartwarming rhyming book, discover what it means to be something that is better than a best friend. Makes a great gift for ages 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 & 8 and grades K to 3. Inspiration For This Book: This is the third Ivy book Mr. Sun wrote and it draws a lot from his own experience and the wide range of emotions he'd go through with those close to him. Sometimes they'd get upset at Mr. Sun and Mr. Sun wouldn't know why. He would get upset back but it'd just made things worse. Then, he would feel bad for getting angry. Then, he'd get sad and wished everything was just back to normal when everyone was happy. Then in the end, Mr. Sun would try to make things better by understanding the other person. He wrote this book so his two sons Nathan and Ryan could learn from his father. Mr. Sun hopes lessons from this book can help other children as well.

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.
