You Synopsis

You: A Special Gift is a tender, uplifting picture book to treasure and share with those who bring light into your life. It's a story about the unique light we each carry - and how, when shared, it brightens the path for others.

The tale follows a Little Lightbearer, who lights the way for his first group of walkers along The Path. The Path starts in a village and leads up a hillside to a hilltop, which glows in dazzling light. However, The Path has been neglected by the villagers and finding the right way to go is hard. When lost in the dark forest, the Little Lightbearer and the walkers are found by the man, who glows with light and leads them on.

This reassuring story reflects life's twists and turns, but through our hope and joy, love and kindness, we shine bright for one another. Life can sometimes be confusing for children and us all, and we can doubt ourselves, but we are not alone and support can be found around us as we journey together.

There's a deeper meaning, too, based on Bible wisdom about the source of the light that we shine out to others. A holy presence that is with us through life's journey, providing the light of hope and strength in the darkness to keep us being bearers of that light for others. Perfect as a gift for children or a 'thank you' gift for adults, this is a story to share with those who make life shine brighter - reminding them that they are a truly special gift and includes a nameplate to complete for your 'Lightbearer'.
