n Tusk Haven, everyone loves the Earthstriders - gentle giants of living stone and earth who warm homes, feed gardens, and one day, carry glowing lanterns as a mark of honor.
Bramble and Willowmere are still too young for lanterns of their own. One night, chasing what they think are the real wandering lanterns, they wander farther from home than they ever meant to go - lost in the dark, with only each other and their own small, squeaky voices to call for help.
A heartwarming story about curiosity, courage, and coming home - and the surprising discovery that being "ready" was never about chasing the light at all.
Perfect for story time or bedtime with children ages 3-8, from the author of Mavis and the Quiet Light.
