High atop a sleeping volcano, a glowing spark cracks open-and out flutters Alita, a tiny fire-bird whose warmth lights instead of burns. Longing for friends but afraid of hurting anyone, Alita meets Brun, a cloud-puppy who can't be singed. Together they journey through emerald valleys, firefly caves, and a golden-leafed oak that whispers wisdom. Yet when the shadowy Gloom steals the valley's light, Alita must decide: hide her flame or let it shine for everyone.
Painted in dreamy watercolor and written in simple, lyrical lines, Alita, the Little Firebird - A Spark of Courage invites children to discover that the brightest courage is sharing the spark inside us all.
