THE LANTERN AND THE WILLOW

The Lantern and the Willow is a gentle, illustrated story about rest, resilience, and quiet courage. When a storm sweeps through the field, a small lantern struggles to keep its light alive. But a wise willow teaches that even bright things need time to rest. Together they learn that strength is not always in shining it’s in knowing when to be still. Written in soothing, poetic rhythm, this story helps children (and grown-ups too) find calm after big feelings. Ideal for bedtime or therapy reading, it offers comfort to sensitive, autistic, or anxious readers learning that rest is part of healing.
