Lumari and the Garden of Sleeping Lights
Ten richly illustrated adventures in one 96-page collection about courage, kindness, and bringing the sleeping garden home again.
Inside the story
A gentle world with something meaningful to say.
Every evening, ten lantern-flowers light the Valley of Evening Blooms. When their sparks disappear and Varkoon cages the garden’s light-seeds, Lumari and the Friends of the Garden set out to bring them home.
Across ten connected stories, Lumari, Pebbiq, Mossendar, Neyvra, Silune, Fennori, and Auriq cross a trembling bridge, listen to a cloud that will not move, help impatient fish, face a mountain that says “not yet,” restore stolen colors, and learn to understand needs different from their own.
The complete 96-page collection combines a continuing magical adventure with ten read-aloud themes: responsibility, courage, listening, honesty, patience, accepting help, persistence, cooperation, empathy, and kindness.
Made to be read together
Wonder for children.
Room for conversation.
Created as a richly illustrated read-aloud experience for children ages 3–7 and the grown-ups who share stories with them.
