New Book By Advocate Art’s Award Winning Illustrator Evelline Andrya!

Published on 14/11/2022

Congrats to Evelline Andrya, author and illustrator of This is the Sun and award winner of the 2022 Creative Child Book of the Year Award and the Tillywig Toy & Media Award  We are so very proud of this beautiful book! This is the Sun was just published by Science Naturally and is already receiving wonderful reviews.

“This Is the Sun does an extraordinary job of capturing nature’s splendor and impressing upon young readers the interconnectedness of all living things. The artwork is nothing short of dazzling, as is the way each new page’s words and images build on those introduced earlier. This playful, rhythmic approach uses repetition to marvelous effect in expressing both the interdependence of our planet’s many species and an implied fragility. Kids, recognizing that they themselves are an undeniable part of this enjoyably revealed grandeur, respond with wonder and delight!”
– Dan Levy, Tillywig Toy, and Media Awards
