Beneath the roots of an ancient oak, the Great Owl's Library sleeps in golden quiet-until one night, its guiding lantern flickers and fades.
Determined to help, Pip the cat gathers small lights from every corner of the Library: a firefly's courage, a moonbeam's memory, and the shared warmth of her friends' words. With each spark, she learns that light isn't something you keep-it's something you pass along.
The Lantern of Learning is a lyrical early reader that celebrates perseverance, community, and the power of hope.
