Story preview

Inside the book

Under a full moon, a brave girl and her gentle white unicorn, Moonlight, watch the night meadow shimmer from the edge of the trees — unsure whether their small glow is enough to help anyone. When the stars begin to fade and the valley loses its color, they follow a silver path through whispering grass, lantern flowers, and a hidden pool of moon magic. The Magic of Moonlight is a warm, luminous bedtime story about courage, self-belief, and the magic that becomes stronger when it is shared. Written by Lauren Keating and illustrated by Jain Falcon.
