Description
If you look very carefully at the night sky, you might spot a teeny-tiny sparkle out of the corner of your eye, a whisper of a tinkling trail... That's Ella.
Ella has always dreamed of seeing the sunrise. But with her delicate gossamer wings, she can only come out at night. So, when the moon is high, she collects as many shimmering beams of light she can find - a twinkle from a star, the glow from a lamp post. With her light, she guides lost and lonely animals and finds friendship in Fox and Owl. And, together, Ella's animal friends know just how to return her kindness...
A gentle, tender storybook about friendship and the power of kindness.

Reviews
Sweetness and charm overflow in this book of friendship and thoughtfulness. Ella's story is a reminder of giving selflessly; her animal friends demonstrate gratitude and giving back. Matching the text, the pictures are adorable but not cloying-the illustrations of light being shared in the night are beautiful and magical. Ella has pale skin with auburn hair. The humans shown are racially diverse. Sweet and bright. * Kirkus Reviews *
