The Light From a Jar

by Teresa Rodríguez, Matt Swanson (Illustrator)

This book is about the magic of childhood. It is about a young girl's memories of times she spent with her grandparents, and the small, everyday things that left a stamp on her heart forever. It is the story of how a child can find "magic" in a name, a snowflake, a baby bird, an old mason jar and even a small firefly. It reminds us that in a world that moves way too fast, we need to follow a child's example, and stop and find joy in the simple things that surrounds us.
