When The Sun Came Out At Night, is the first in a series of illustrated stories that E.H. de la Espriella compiled from the childhood conversations he had with his brother once they were tucked into bed at night. The sun became a symbol of escape for the brothers while they dealt with life's challenges. The stories reflect the fantasy that only children can create in their minds. These stories are borrowed and inspired from the author's award-winning novel Sun Night.
When The Sun Came Out At Night takes place on an island with a menacing volcano far away in the Pacific ocean. The protagonists of this story are Koa, Hana, and their children Elio and Aolani. One night after dinner, Koa's family senses the earth shaking under their feet and watches how in a fantastical way, the sun makes the night into day right in front of their eyes.
