Title: One Light

Author: Christie Matheson

Illustrator: Anuska Allepuz

Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR)

A little girl is feeling lonely and gloomy on a cold and dark stormy evening. All of a sudden, the lights go out and it goes completely dark. Just like that, something inside the little girl triggers a brilliant idea. She takes the lantern that she made in school, lights it up and keeps it on the front porch. This beautiful gesture is noticed by a neighbor and inspires him to do the same. And so, it continues as more and more people do the same and soon the whole city is filled with the calm of the lantern lights.

In this remarkable way, the creative thinking of this little girl influences and motivates the whole community around her to follow suit. Truly, "one light can make a difference"!

📚 Lovely message - no matter how small of a difference you can make, each bit of kindness matters!

📚 Stunning illustrations and simple text.
