Oh, the illustrations are warm and delightful! They indeed light up the book while still being soft enough for a bedtime read. The story is about a little kid who tries to find the light within him. He listens to his heartbeat and lets the light seep out of him. It’s in his smile, and the more he smiles, the brighter he gets.

Some of the lines rhyme, but I didn’t pay attention to it. I read it more like prose than verse and that helped ignore the uneven meter. Grab this book for the illustrations. I’m sure kids will love them.

I received an ARC from NetGalley and BooksGoSocial and am voluntarily leaving a review.
