The Biggest and Brightest Light: The Magic of Helping Others

By Marilyn Perlyn

This timely new book will inspire children and give them a real understanding of the feelings that come from giving.

She thought of great ideas like making holiday decorations, baking cookies, and entering a contest. Through Amanda's efforts to help her teacher, she discovered that helping someone else gave her the best feeling she ever, ever had. It was better than eating a chocolate sundae, better than opening up all the presents at her birthday party, and even better than the day she got her new wet-nosed puppy The uniqueness of this incredibly inspiring book lies in the fact that The Biggest and Brightest Light it is a true story written by Amanda's mother and beautifully illustrated by Amanda when she was only 16 years old. This tender story, written primarily for children ages 4 to 8, will tug at the heartstrings of readers of all ages and leave them looking for opportunities to follow Amanda's example.
