Description:
This story is about a little Black boy who carries a golden lantern and helps everyone else feel loved, seen, and important.
But when Lerrad’s own light starts to grow dim, he has to learn something powerful:
Even helpers need help. And his light matters too.
This book came from my heart. It came from pain, healing, and learning to finally look at the man in the mirror and be proud.
