About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is facing a season of uncertainty or feeling small in a world that seems dark and overwhelming. It is a perfect choice for children who need a reminder that bravery does not mean a lack of fear, but rather the persistence to move forward in spite of it. Phyllis Root weaves a tale that feels like an ancient legend, making it an ideal bedtime story during the winter months or when a child is transitioning through a difficult life event. The story follows Lucia, a young girl living in the Far North, who wakes to find the sun has been stolen by mountain trolls. Accompanied only by her white cat, she treks through the frozen wilderness to reclaim the light. Through Lucia's journey, children learn about the power of determination and the strength of a hopeful heart. It is beautifully suited for children ages 4 to 8, providing a safe, metaphorical space to discuss overcoming obstacles and the importance of resilience.
