Sunshine Cover Image Book

Sunshine / by Jarrett J. Krosoczka ; [color and lettering by Jarrett Krosoczka ; edited by David Levithan].

Krosoczka, Jarrett, (author,, illustrator,, letterer.). Levithan, David, (editor.).

Summary:

"When Jarrett J. Krosoczka was in high school, he was part of a program that sent students to be counselors at a camp for seriously ill kids and their families. Going into it, Jarrett was worried: Could anything he did make a difference? Wouldn't it be depressing to be around kids facing such a struggle? But instead of the shadow of death, Jarrett found something else at Camp Sunshine: the hope and determination that gets people through the most troubled of times. Not only was he subject to some of the usual rituals that come with being a camp counselor (wilderness challenges, spooky campfire stories, an extremely stinky mascot costume), but he also got a chance to meet some extraordinary kids facing extraordinary circumstances. He learned about the captivity of illness, for sure, but he also learned about the freedom a safe space can bring"-- Back cover.
