This heart-warming picture book is a treasured gift for the special ones in your life. It is a story to share about the light we each bring to others in our own unique way.
This tale is about 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 in white, 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 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.
— Catherine Campbell, author of 'journey with Me for Kids', and 'Consider Him'.
"It is never too early to let children know that they are special and have their own unique part to play in the world. With beautiful and captivating illustrations, the story of the Little Lightbearer reminds every child that they can have a positive impact on those around them as they let their own light shine. This is a picture book story to capture the imagination and feed the soul."
— Sarah Toulmin, mother, teacher, pastor and author of 'Baby's Little Bible'
"A delightful story, wonderful illustrations - captivating!!"
— Rob Parsons, OBE, author of 'A Knock at the Door'
"This beautifully illustrated book will be loved by both children and adults. Like all of us, Little Lightbearer loses his way. But he meets a mysterious person who glows with light - and is the light - that turns everyone's darkness into hope and joy. Little Lightbearer's message comes at a time when we need it most."
— Joyce Denham, author
"This story is an allegory for life - it is a journey, full of twists and turns, challenges and decisions. There is a Path to follow; along the way there will be beauty, choices and loved ones to help guide you on your way. You is a beautiful looking book, with colourful landscapes and text written on scrolls. There is a strong Christian influence running through the story; the Lightbearers are the disciples, there’s a man who welcomes the walkers and at one point, the walkers eat a meal of bread and fishes. However, the story would work in a secular space too, with the message of life as a journey, one to be completed alongside those who love us."
