About
Little Glow Synopsis
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.
