Tall as the Sun Awareness Tour is presented in partnership* with Stephanie Henson and The Children’s Book Review.
Get ready to see the world from a whole new height as we kick off the virtual book tour for Tall as the Sun by Stephanie Henson!
In Tall as the Sun, a child’s view of the world shifts with a little extra height and a lot of imagination. Set against the backdrop of a day at the beach, the story follows how ordinary moments take on new meaning from Dad’s shoulders—where the horizon feels wider and every detail invites a second look. With a light, lyrical touch, Stephanie Henson explores perspective in a way that feels both grounded and quietly expansive.
It’s easy to picture grandparents or parents reading this book to a child before bed as they drift off to dream of sunny beaches, lulled by the rhythmic sound of ocean waves, experiencing all the splendor of the day, without a grain of sand between the sheets.
