Description
In a world awash in artificial light, two lights are made unlike all the rest. These two lights never dim, never fade. This whimsical and elegantly simple story artfully weaves together the parallels of the sun's light and a child's inner light, reminding those big and small that there is something inside each of us that is enduring and powerful. The Lights That Stay follows the journey of a girl whose inner light grows and transforms in various and profound ways.
For readers who love classics such as You're Here for a Reason or The Crown on Your Head, both by Nancy Tillman, or Someday by Allison McGhee, this book provides a similar opportunity to help your child or loved one feel a little more inspired and confident in who they are and the unique journey they are on.
In a satisfying and meaningful way to tuck your loved one in at night, the book concludes with a simple request the child - to dream about all the ways their inner light might shine tomorrow. Beyond a bedtime story, The Lights That Stay carries valuable messages for all ages and makes a great baby shower, graduation, or birthday gift.

The Lights That Stay by Cortney Cino is a beautifully illustrated, powerful and uplifting story about the existence of each and every child's inner light. It is a reminder to everyone that, like the sun, the light that burns bright inside of us all cannot be dimmed. This will be a lovely bedtime book that will leave children dreaming of ways that they can shine even bigger and brighter with the dawn of a new day. Recommended.
Many thanks to NetGalley and Whimspire Books for an ARC.
This book! So sweet and beautifully written. Reading it with my youngest was a treat, and a great moment to talk about how sharing your inner light with others can uplift yourself immensely. I appreciate the thought behind the writing, but also how wonderfully illustrated it is. If I were a children's librarian, this would be a go-to recommendation. For now though, it is a go-to birthday gift to all of the younger kids in our circle. Thank you for the advanced copy!
