Read it together. Tap Listen and the story is read out loud while the words light up under each picture.
At the edge of the sea, on a tall rocky shore, lived a little lighthouse named Little Light.
Little Light loved to shine. She shone for the boats. She shone for the birds. She shone for anyone who might need her.
But one night, Little Light looked down at her own reflection in the water. She could not see herself at all.
She had given so much of her light away that she had forgotten to shine on herself.
"What is wrong with me?" she whispered to the moon.
The moon smiled softly. "Nothing is wrong, little one. You just forgot that you need light too."
"But how can I shine on myself?" Little Light asked. "I thought light was only for giving away."
The moon said gently, "When you love yourself, your light never runs out. It grows. And then you have even more to give."
So that night, for the very first time, Little Light turned her beam gently inward.
And she saw herself. Really saw herself. And she was beautiful.
The next morning, a little boat sailed past. And Little Light shone brighter than ever before.
Because when you fill yourself with love, you have so much more to give away.
You are a light too. Don't forget to shine on yourself sometimes. The world needs you full.
