The Light We Share: A Heartwarming Bedtime Story About Love, Loss, and Finding Light Again

When young Sara discovers a glowing purple light in her sleeping mother’s hand, she can’t resist touching it. But when the magical light disappears into her own heart, Sara worries she’s taken something precious from her mama.

What follows is a touching journey as Sara tries everything to return the light to her mother: turning on lamps, offering her shiniest toys, even pressing her own glowing heart against Mama’s palm. Nothing works, and Sara’s sadness grows as evening falls.

But through Sara’s innocent love and deep desire to help, she learns a beautiful truth: sometimes the greatest gift we can give is wanting to share our light with those we love. And sometimes, that’s exactly what creates new light.

A touching picture book that reminds both children and parents: love shared is love multiplied, and sometimes the smallest hearts carry the brightest lights.
