The Lantern of All Things What if the smallest pieces you carried could become a light for the world? In the quiet closing of The Stillbright Chronicles , a barefoot girl named Elira discovers a stitched scroll and an unlit lantern beneath the roots of a weathered tree. She doesn't ask what they are--she listens. And as she walks the trail through fragments left behind by others, something ancient begins to stir: a light not made from fire, but from care. The Lantern of All Things is the poetic final chapter in The Stillbright Chronicles , a series of beautifully illustrated children's books for ages 6-13 that celebrates quiet courage, wonder, and the gentle power of noticing. In each of the preceding stories-- The Seed That Waited , The Echo Beneath the Bridge , The Feather of Return , and The Map That Follows Questions --a different child kindled a piece of Stillbright. Now, Elira gathers them all. With lyrical storytelling and rich visuals, this standalone book completes the series with warmth, reverence, and light. Perfect for thoughtful readers, bedtime reflection, classroom discussion, or anyone who believes that hope can still be carried forward--one child, one moment, one lantern at a time.
