When her dad takes his own life, a young girl must learn to cope with her grief and guilt while discovering that a parent’s love endures even after they’re gone.

The story centres on nine year old Milly and the loving relationship she has with her dad. But when he takes his own life and Milly is left asking why? Why if he loved her did he leave her?

I Love You, Sunshine tackles grief head on – Milly is forced to deal with big emotions – guilt, deep hurt and anger – which culminate in her beginning a journey of understanding and acceptance. It’s the story of one little girl dealing with these huge emotions at a time when she’s just learning how to grow up.
This is Milly’s story. It’s for all the Millys out there.

“I loved reading the script. It’s beautifully written – tender, honest, and deeply moving. The way it captures Milly’s perspective feels so true and powerful, and the balance between small, intimate moments and the weight of grief is really striking.
It’s such an affecting piece, and I think audiences will really connect with the emotional honesty at its core.”
