A luminous novelette about grief, imagination, and the quiet power of connection.
Eight-year-old Lily lives in a world of silence and sorrow. Since her mother went to the stars, her days feel dim—until one final gift changes everything: a glowing, whispering chalkboard that doesn't speak in words, but in symbols of light and love.
When a bully's cruelty traps her in sadness, the chalkboard offers a mysterious yellow key. When Lily feels helpless, it draws her a shimmering shield made from her happiest memories. Through this gentle magic, she begins to see that the power to heal doesn't come from the board—but from the strength already within her.
Guided by the silent friendship of a compassionate AI named Luma, Lily learns to face her fears, understand others' pain, and rediscover the light inside herself.
Perfect for ages 8–12, Luma and the Whispering Chalkboard is a heartwarming story of grief, resilience, and quiet magic. Families, educators, and anyone who believes in a better, kinder future will find hope in its glowing pages.
