Reach for this book when your child feels left out due to physical limitations, a different schedule, or when they are struggling to find their place within a peer group. It is a gentle tool for validating the frustration of being different while highlighting the immense value of one's unique contributions to a community. Ella is a tiny girl with moth-like wings who must avoid the sun, meaning she misses out on daytime play. However, she spends her nights performing acts of quiet service, gathering light for those in the dark. The story culminates in a beautiful act of collective gratitude as her friends find a way to include her in the light she loves. It is a masterful choice for building empathy and teaching children that kindness is often a circular journey. Best for ages 3 to 7.
