The Light Inside

Stories of Strength, Kindness, and Trust

Book One of the “Heartprints from the Earth” Series
Little Lessons with Big Magic

Welcome to a world where giants tiptoe, feathers chase the wind, and fireflies forget how to shine—until they remember.

The Light Inside is a collection of twelve enchanting short stories crafted especially for children ages 6 to 10 (and the grown-ups who love them). Each tale is a gentle adventure into the heart, offering soulful lessons wrapped in whimsy, wonder, and just the right amount of giggles.

In this first book of the Heartprints from the Earth series, young readers will explore three magical themes:

Inner Strength – Discover the courage to be yourself, even when it feels a little scary.
Kindness & Compassion – See how small acts of love can light up an entire meadow.
Trusting the Journey – Learn that even when life feels uncertain, your heart knows the way.

Through talking drums, thoughtful porcupines, wobbling clouds, and singing mice, these stories invite children to reflect, connect, and remember:

You don’t have to be loud to be powerful.
You don’t have to be perfect to be kind.
And you don’t have to know exactly where you’re going… to be exactly where you’re meant to be.

Each story includes reflection questions to spark meaningful conversations, journaling, or bedtime chats. Perfect for classrooms, families, circle time, or quiet moments of self-discovery.

Let these tales plant seeds of light in the hearts of young readers—and leave gentle heartprints that last a lifetime.
