Ella's Night Lights

Product Information

Your words, like your reviews, bring books to life and give them a voice before the front cover is even turned. You guys are such a force for good and I am a passionate supporter of Indie booksellers, so I'm so happy this worked out well (I'd love to know how many books were sold if you have it to hand - it felt like quite a lot! Yesterday a parent came over to tell me how impressed she was by the book fair and that you did a fabulous job of selling the books to the children first.

Ella has a wish that she may see the sunrise but, because of her delicate wings she only goes out at night. Aiding and befriending Sable the fox and Luna the owl, with whom she spent her nights in play, Ella led a very happy life. Ella shares her light with a fox who becomes a dear friend and her light helps a young owl learn to fly. Children will love the beautiful illustrations full of lots of fabulous little things to look for in the pictures. This experience has been fantastic primarily for the children, the school and also for me (professionally).It is a time when she gathers light for others who need it the most to travel at night like her friend Sable, the fox and, on another night she helps Luna, a frightened owl.

I love the concept of this story Ella uses her night light to give others Hope and she helps them out with their problems. She makes friends with other nocturnal creatures by giving them a little of the light she gathers to help them. The illustrations are delightful, everything a mind can find in its childish corners is beautifully depicted here: the brightness of stars in the sweet folding of night, the lightness of being of the main character, the goodness of her heart which passes on to her friends, who devise a way to enable her to watch her first sun rise! The fox is the star of the show, rather than beautiful Ella, as she realises she can befriend animals and shine a light on their darker moments - so much so that they now even look out for her too! I was at my last school for 4 years and we had ********* book fairs every term – and every term, I was disappointed by the narrow range of books.

Also, I can teach kids to treat others the way you want to be treated because in the end all of Ellas friends get together and help her with her dream. I would use this book to teach students how a little bit of kindness towards others can go a long ways. One night, they got their friends together and created a den of darkness so that she could watch the sunrise without the light ruining her wings. Sans aucun doute l'un des plus magnifiques albums Jeunesse que j'ai vus - ce qui pour une libraire qui marine parmi des milliers d'albums en librairie chaque jour vous donne une idée de l'ampleur de cette affirmation - "La petite collectionneuse de lumière" m'a littéralement conquise. Ella is a teeny-tiny girl with moth-like wings and antennae and because her wings are so delicate, she cannot go out into the sunlight so she gathers bits of light at night and shares it with anyone who needs it.
