A welcoming palette of golden yellows and calming teals invites lingering over this story about claiming—and sharing—your personal “superpowers.” Nour was born with a literal glow, a gift she has always been proud of—until she starts school. The other children’s barbs cause her to hide her light, suppressing it to a faint glow. But while helping her baby sister through her fear of the dark, Nour realizes sharing her light can make the whole world a little brighter.
