Book Cover & Preview Text
Alea began telling the dragon how her grandmother had taught her long ago, about the light. She told him that the light was a place deep inside of you, near your heart, that would shine brightly and glow when you are happy and are feeling good about yourself. "It's like the sun is shining inside you," she told him. "It gives you the energy to do all the fun things. It's when you feel happy about who you are and you like yourself." Alea told the dragon, "When you are sad, lonely or unhappy, the light can begin to get dirty, and you do not feel very good." She explained gently, "You then become very tired and grumpy and don't feel like talking to anyone, because you just want to be left alone. It's like you are hurting on the inside and that no one can see it, but you can feel it." "You know when it's a cloudy day and the sun hides behind the clouds," Alea continued, "It's like that with your light. You know it's still there, but you can't see it, like you can't feel the warmth of the sun because it's hidden behind the clouds."
