Sunny

Sunny is a quietly powerful story about an orphanage, the children who live there, and the battered old car that gives them a way to escape their dull lives. The children are distinct and affecting, each carrying their own loneliness and hopes. The car becomes a symbol of freedom, and the story is built on small, honest moments that feel lived-in. The art is atmospheric and carefully drawn, giving the orphanage and the streets around it a real sense of place. The emotional tone is heavy and sometimes melancholic, and the episodic structure can feel loose across its run. Some children get less room than others. Still, it is a moving, humane work that treats its young characters with real respect. If you enjoy stories about childhood that do not look away, this is essential reading.
