Who Owns the Sun?

No one owns the sun, because the sun is too large and too great for one person to own. No one owns the stars because they are too far away for anyone to own. No one owns the wind, because it is a wanderer that visits everyone and every place. These are simple truths that Big Jim shares with his son. However, Big Jim s son s life is turned upside down when he learns that one of earth s most beautiful things can be owned. This touching story was written and illustrated by Stacy Chbosky when she was only 14 years old when she won the National Written and Illustrated By...Awards Contest for Students in 1987.
