Whether you’re a sunling or an earthling, growing up isn’t easy. Shy nine-year-old Gustafer Yellowgold has to grapple with neighborhood bullies, an over-achieving brother, and parental expectations just like kids on Earth do. He would rather lose himself in comic books and dream the day away than make deliveries for his father’s raisin-butchering business after school. Fateful events put Gustafer at his ultimate crossroad when he sees a darker opportunity to control his own destiny on the Sun.

Two-time Grammy nominee Morgan Taylor has long been a hit equally with ever-hip parents and kids on the family circuit with his smart and catchy multimedia concerts. At last, he gets to tell the full backstory of his creation, Gustafer. Featuring 13 brand new songs and fresh recordings of three fan favorites, all produced by Pat Sansone of Wilco, this captivating Audible Original is great for family listening as well as for kids ages six and up to discover and enjoy on their own. Besides hours of delightful storytelling and music, listeners will take away some mildly revolutionary life lessons: Be yourself, no matter what your age, and don’t be afraid to take your own path.

Enjoy a special bonus in Chapter 14, with an exclusive full album of the songs featured in I’m from the Sun. You will also get a free PDF download including key character art and scenes from the hand of Morgan Taylor, and a complete lyric compendium too! Only from Audible.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

About the Creator and Performer

After a dozen or so years in the Dayton, Ohio indie-rock scene, mostly self-taught musical and visual artist Morgan Taylor moved to NYC in 1999 in pursuit of a life in the arts. While primarily focusing on songwriting and performing, Taylor honed his skills as a professional sound engineer. By 2004 he brought his love of drawing into the blend to self-produce the first Gustafer Yellowgold picture books, with cartoon images depicting the lyrics of some of his quirkier indie-folk pop songs. The books soon became animated, read-along music videos. The strong reaction from fans and press inspired Taylor to hit the stage with an early version of his multimedia concert in spring of 2005; within three years, he was full-time into the world of Gustafer. Over 2,000 live performances, eight CD/DVD albums, and two Grammy nominations later, Taylor is just hitting his creative stride with the Gustafer Yellowgold series.

The music in this story is awesome and sooo catchy. I dare you to listen and not spontaneously burst out singing the main song, "I'm from the sun". It seriously sounds like a lost Beatles track. Really excited to play this one for my kids.

Fun story with catchy tunes!

This was something nice and simple to listen to and not feel much extreme emotion like some books I have listened to recently. The sound affects helps make the book more interesting. Something a kid and an adult can listen to without feeling it is above or below your age group.

Something for listen to and forget about real problems in life

I love, love, love this audio book. I didn't expect this sci-fi audio work of fiction to necessarily rock my world, but that is precisely what it is doing. I'm halfway through and do not want it to ever end.

October 2018 in the USA has been such a downer: I'd list all the awful events that have happened nationally (devastating weather events, divisive politics, unspeakable crimes by bad people), but I won't. And in my own world, there are obstacles and medical situations bombarding me right now. (Can you identify???)

I started listening to: I'm From the Sun two nights ago and it has lifted me right up to a happy place - I want MORE! It actually made me cry (good healing tears) last night. I won't tell you what the story is about - just use one credit and buy it - then share it. For the young and old: This is the audio book for you!

To everyone involved in producing this audio book I say, BRAVO! Morgan Taylor: Please produce more material like this, ok?

Lovely, beautiful, fascinating book
