"Gmorning, Gnight!" aims to perk up its readers

Rise and shine, bookworms — we have a cheerful interview about an uplifting book to share with you.

Gmorning, Gnight! Little Pep Talks For Me & You combines the words of Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda with illustrations by Jonny Sun.

It aims to provide a comfort object for its readers, something you wake up and reach for and smile at (unlike what might happen if you pick up your phone first thing instead).

Listen to Sun chat with All Things Considered’s Ailsa Chang about the book below or read highlights from their discussion on NPR’s website.
