The Light Inside Me - Large Print by Shaylee Lorae (Paperback)

About the Book

A sweet little puppy learns a beautiful secret: we all have a magic light inside! When his mom goes missing, he tries to shine his light to bring her back, only to discover kindness is the true magic.

Book Synopsis

A heartwarming bedtime tale about a little puppy's journey to discover that true magic comes from within.

Meet a playful puppy who loves nothing more than chasing birds, playing ball, and spending time with his loving mom. Every night, before turning out the lights, his mom whispers a special bedtime secret: we all have a powerful, magic light that lives deep inside us.

But when the puppy wakes up one morning to find his mom isn't there, he sets out on an anxious search. Remembering her secret, he sits in the grass and squeezes his eyes shut, trying with all his might to make his inner light shine brightly enough to guide her home. When the sun fades and no light appears, he begins to doubt the magic altogether.

Upon a joyful reunion, his mother explains a beautiful, gentle lesson. The "light inside" isn't a glowing magic trick you can see with your eyes-it's the warmth of a smile, the joy of sharing a toy, and the happiness we bring to others.
