This book has one of the MOST BEAUTIFUL COVERS we’ve EVER SEEN! OMG!!! This cover is breath-taking. Like, you don’t even have to read the book to start feeling it, just LOOK AT THE COVER! There is so much being said in it that you can take in the essence of the book, the combination of elements, the crown of thorns adorned with sunflowers, the Band-Aid, the vapor tears, the way the eyes are closed… it’s gorgeous! Maaaaaaaaaan…. this is something else. Like, truly something else. Just the cover, love the artwork, love it, love it, love it! We need more books with artworks like this, for real. Both the cover and illustrations, which are fantastic, are made by Roux™ .
“To Fight Fire with Sun” … a very interesting title indeed that provokes many thoughts, many ideas and leaves us curious to know why the choice of words, why the game of words… fighting fire with the Sun… hmm….. Davia Andrews, what do you had in mind when choosing this title? hahahahahahaha, nice. Very nice.
The dedication is very emotional and takes us aback once we realize that the book is dedicated to a friend that Davia Andrews lost, a very close friend and, her words profound with grief and hope, and we are put in the tone of which this book was written, because this is a revelation, about the things that the writer never said before, which makes this book extra special, so…
There is a clear and honest knowledge and understanding of what it means to live and the toll life demands from the living, and that we must deal with that the best way we can, which is something beautiful and pure. This also hints that we are going to enter a very wild, rough and special ride that is this book, To Fight Fire with Sun.
Love, gratitude, admiration, friendship, care… these are the feelings we are enveloped with as we, without even realizing, start to feel, as we connect with the words of the author, D. A. Andrews, and this even before we get into the first poem. THAT’S how strong the sincere words of this poetess are and how emotional this book is. Its atmosphere is heavy with charged positive feelings as she shares the acknowledgements and thanks. Beautiful
