A hilarious and incredibly moving novel of our time, written by one of the most talented children's book authors working today, is perfect for fans of Wonder, Frank Cottrell-Boyce, or The Boy at the Back of the Class.

Cymbeline Igloo is bored. Bored of home learning, bored of lockdown, bored of not being able to do anything. And to make matters worse, his mom accidentally gave away his favorite football shirt. But then Mrs. Stebbings, the beloved school cook, is taken to the hospital, and suddenly, coronavirus seems much closer to home. When Cymbeline starts a project about Mrs. Stebbings' childhood in World War II, he can't know that it's the beginning of something incredible and even dangerous.

Exploring the place where her street once stood, he finds a tent, a strange girl wearing his shirt, and a mystery that will change absolutely everything. Because the past is more present than Cymbeline can possibly know—and the most amazing thing is how much one small person can do right now.

Some Sunny Day is a story of hope, kindness, and the history we all make every day, no matter who we are.
