Glow doesn’t want anyone else to steal the show. He adores fans and doesn’t understand what friendship is all about. When he gets into a scary situation, he learns the importance of friends and sharing the spotlight. Beautiful illustrations accompany this adorable squid story. Complete with fun facts to learn and share with your friends.

THE GLOW SHOW shines as an endearing friendship story in this age of social media-- having true friends is more important than having fans and followers. The art is lovely and bright, and Glow is adorable! Kids will love this style and relate to the difficult balance in being independent and in trying to make new friends. The text shows how overconfidence can get you into murky waters, and that life is better with friends to help you through. I also love the STEM ties-ins to this book with fun facts in the back matter on squids, bioluminescence, and more. A winner for any ocean-loving kid!
