A gentle story about being an only child in a big family and wishing for someone to play with . . . and getting your wish in a big way.

A gentle story about being an only child in a big family and wishing for someone to play with . . . and getting your wish in a big way.

Sunny is the only kid in a big family.

She wishes she had someone to play with, but it seems like everyone has someone except her.

When she finally gets her wish and is invited to play with the neighborhood kids, it's a bit more than she bargained for . . .

Maybe being the only child has its advantages!

This beautiful story invites readers into Sunny's quiet world with its lazy afternoons and sleepy, distracted adults, and Katty Maurey's delicate and gorgeous artwork perfectly evokes both the calm and not-so-calm moments, in this celebration of introverts, comfort zones and new experiences.

Reviews for Sunny Wants to Play

""[A] charming slice-of-life tale that will especially resonate with only children. Winning and relatable."" —Kirkus Reviews ""Maurey’s spare, elegant text is complemented by delicate gouache illustrations that contrast languid, serene indoor scenes with frenetic hullabaloo activity on the playground. . . . A quiet celebration of stepping outside of comfort zones while still staying true to oneself."" —Booklist
