The Little Sun on the Roof

A dreamlike return to the child I left behind.

Concept
Set on the rooftop of my grandmother’s house — a space between childhood and adulthood — this story unfolds as a quiet dialogue between the Sun (my younger self) and the Moon (my present self).
Through their conversation, it explores the weight of growing up and the gentle act of learning to love yourself again.

Monologue
Growing older, I lost touch with the bright, curious child I once was.
This book became a way to find that light again — to forgive, to remember, and to make peace with who I’ve become.
