A mothlike girl shares light in the dark with those in need.With two fluffy antennae and soft feathery wings, a tiny girl named Ella awakens at night. Ella is drawn to light, collecting anything that "glow[s] and glimmer[s] in the darkness" to share with anyone who needs a little brightness in the dark. With a sweet mantra, she gives her light to "calm your fright." One night, she meets a lonely fox and shares some light, and they become fast friends. Another night she guides a scared owl to fly in the night. Light-loving Ella's greatest wish is to see the sunrise, but with her delicate wings, she can never go out in the sun. Her animal friends observe how Ella is always sharing her light with others and come together to create a gift for Ella. Sweetness and charm overflow in this book of friendship and thoughtfulness. Ella's story is a reminder of giving selflessly; her animal friends demonstrate gratitude and giving back. Matching the text, the pictures are adorable but not cloying-the illustrations of light being shared in the night are beautiful and magical. Ella has pale skin with auburn hair. The humans shown are racially diverse.Sweet and bright. (Picture book. 3-7)

Friendship, kindness, and gratitude are all illuminated in a quiet tale of a magical girl with mothlike wings.

Nestled in a little nook in an old oak tree is a tiny girl named Ella. Ella loves light, but must be sure to avoid the sun because of her delicate wings. Flittering about at night, she collects light from everything that glows and glimmers in the darkness, always making sure to share the light she gathers with those who need it most. Until one day, when her animal friends decide it’s their turn to give back—with a creative plan that just may make Ella’s dream of seeing the sun come true. New York Times best-selling illustrator Lucy Fleming’s author-illustrator debut is a sweet story about the power of giving to others and celebrating our friends, as well as a reminder that we all have a light within us that is worthy of being shared.
