One cold, starry night, a little girl named Mira spots a glowing moth at her window. When she follows it deep into the forest, she discovers the Lantern Tree—a mysterious old tree filled with hanging lanterns that grant wishes. But only the kindest, most selfless wishes come true.

As Mira begins to wish not for herself, but for others—her grandmother, a lonely boy, and even a lost child—something begins to glow brighter than magic itself: her heart.

The Lantern Tree is a heartwarming bedtime story that gently teaches children the power of empathy, hope, and quiet bravery. With poetic narration, beautiful imagery, and a soothing atmosphere, this story wraps young listeners in comfort and wonder—perfect for winding down before sleep.

Whether shared during quiet nights, storytime at school, or snuggled up at grandma's house, The Lantern Tree reminds us all that one kind wish can change everything.

🎁 Includes a FREE printable bonus PDF with a full-color illustration and a magical coloring page where children can draw their own lantern wishes.

For ages 4–8 and every dreamer who believes in the gentle magic of giving.
