The Story Behind This Book

Mr. Sun wanted to foster his children's creativity so he asked them to make a list of random things that they liked. From the list, Mr. Sun came up with ideas, keeping the ones Nathan and Ryan found exciting and created the world in Ivy's dream. Just like Ivy's mom, Mr. Sun hopes that he, Nathan and Ryan can help each other keep their imaginations from growing old, just like Mr. Sun's spirit and maturity level.

About Mr. Sun

Mr. Sun's full name is Alexander Sun. When he was a kid, he lived in California in a house that had a convenient store up the hill where he would buy a whole lot of candy. His favorites were Alexander the Grape, Jolly Ranchers and Luden's Cherry Cough Drops. He had a lot of cavities. His other good habits were watching 80's cartoons and playing Nintendo. When he grew up, he worked at a game company called Blizzard Entertainment for 11 years. After having his 2 sons, he switched careers so he could spend more time with them. His kids love candy too and their favorite holiday is Halloween, although Ryan doesn't like wearing a costume or having to go out in order to get candy. Mr. Sun doesn't want them to eat as much sweets as he did so he makes sure they don't by eating a lot of their candy. He's also very thoughtful and lets his kids play with his Legos whenever they want.
