Step beneath the branches of a grand old willow and discover a world of gentle magic in this enchanting bedtime story by Adeline Finch.

Elsie, a thoughtful girl with a wild imagination, finds a tiny glowing lantern hidden among the willow's roots one twilight evening. When she picks it up, a secret doorway opens, leading her into a magical grove filled with talking animals, sparkling fireflies, and glowing flowers. Guided by the lantern's golden light, Elsie meets wise rabbits, a friendly hedgehog, a clever squirrel, and a kind old owl, each sharing stories and gentle wisdom.

As Elsie helps a lost fawn find its mother and listens to the willow's ancient song, she learns that courage, kindness, and believing in magic can light the way—even when the path is hidden. When dawn arrives, Elsie returns home with her heart full of wonder, knowing that the world is full of hidden magic for those who believe.

The Lantern in the Willow Tree is a soothing, imaginative adventure perfect for bedtime or quiet listening, celebrating friendship, bravery, and the gentle magic of nature.
