These are just sample lines. Your book is written fresh for your child - their name woven through every page, with the words, sentence length and tone tuned to their age, and shaped by the story, interests and details you choose.

On the first night there was one small flame, and your child thought it was the bravest little light in the world.

Each night your child counted one more, and each night the window glowed a little further out into the dark.

On the eighth night every flame was lit at once, and the whole room felt like the inside of a lantern.
