"A story to warm hearts, beautifully told through a shy little candle"
November 2021 Debut of the Month
From the window of a cosy house in a seaside town, a little candle looks out onto the world. As the seasons roll by, she observes families celebrating, lighting up dark nights with love for Chinese New Year, Diwali, Hannukah, Ramadan and Christmas. It makes Little Glow wish to be bigger, until the realisation comes that small moments and the smallest lights are just as important as big ones. Revelling in comfort and light, this story was made to be shared in the winter nights while its message of hope and togetherness will warm hearts all year round.

The story is told through the eyes of an introverted lead character, Little Glow, a candle flame who wishes to be bolder and brighter. The flame watches from afar as families in the street celebrate various religious and cultural festivals throughout the year, including Chinese New Year, Diwali, Hannukah, Ramadan and Christmas. But, as a family gathers around Little Glow for their own special celebration, it becomes clear that even the smallest of lights have an important purpose.
The rhyming text and vibrant full-colour spreads showcase a diverse and multicultural community in this uplifting story of hope and finding your place. The book also includes fire safety back matter and will be accompanied by learning resources on festivals and fire safety. A reassuring and comforting read after a time of unrest and uncertainty, with the nights drawing in once more, Little Glow provides a warming glimmer of hope and a vision of the beauty that lies within our inclusive neighbourhood communities.
