Kali is strong, yet delicate. Kind, yet fearless. Humble, yet bold.
Meet Kali—a bold East Coast girl with a bright West Coast vibe. She may not have been born with a surfboard in hand, but she was certainly born riding her own wave. She’s not like everyone else—and that’s exactly her power. Her sunny disposition, breezy personality, and soaring free spirit are as infectious as the smile she wears, which is by far her best accessory. Like a cool drink of water on a hot summer day—or a gentle gust of wind blowing through saltwater hair, the energy she radiates is a breath of fresh air. She adores the sun, and the sun loves her back. It even shines on her with a kind of magic.
When the Sun Hits Different follows Kali, shining a light in those dark, often neglected corners, illuminating just how magical embracing our own kind of “different” can be. Kali inspires and artfully encourages us to celebrate our diversities and what makes us different, reminding every child to own their glow and walk in their shine. With vibrant illustrations and a message of radiant self-love and self-acceptance, this book is a joyful anthem for any child discovering their own light. We all shine differently. Whatever ways make us unique, being different is lit!
