The Ghost Who Feared the Dark

At the edge of the Moonlit Meadow lives Lumi, a small, fluffy ghost who can float, swoosh and go right through a closed door. But there is one thing she cannot do: stay out when the sun goes down.

One evening a tiny golden light bumps against her window. It is Pip, a firefly who has lost his family in the Whispering Woods, and he needs Lumi’s help. Lumi is scared. But she thinks, “I can’t be brave all the way, but maybe I can be brave for one step.”

Along the way Lumi meets Moss the owl, who teaches her to ask “What is it really?” before she is afraid, and Nora the rabbit, who shows her that the night is not empty but full of friends. The story ends with a short note about courage for grown-ups, and a few activities for little ones: a Courage Challenge to try together, a maze, a spot-the-differences page and a page to colour in.

This is a 32-page digital picture-book story in PDF form, made to be read aloud.
