What happens when a screen glows so brightly that a little firefly begins to lose her own light?
Luma is a curious young firefly who loves lighting up the forest each evening. But one night, she discovers a glowing tablet beneath an oak tree. Its colorful games, moving pictures, and dazzling lights are so fascinating that a little while soon becomes a little while longer.
Before long, Luma stops listening to the crickets, playing with her friends, and enjoying the nighttime forest. She feels tired, and her once-bright golden glow becomes smaller and smaller.
Then Grandma sits beside her.
She does not scold Luma or take the tablet away in anger. Instead, she gently suggests spending one night without the screen. Together, they rest, make funny shadows, search for stars, invent stories, and rediscover the joy of being present with someone they love.
Luma and the Glowing Tablet is a warm illustrated story that helps families begin thoughtful conversations about screen-time balance, rest, friendship, and the many ways children can play beyond a device.
Inside this book, families will find:
- 14 beautifully illustrated scenes
- A gentle story created for kids ages 3-6
- Short sentences and playful sounds ideal for reading aloud
- A caring grandparent-child relationship
- A reassuring message about balance rather than punishment
- Imaginative nighttime activities children and adults can enjoy together
Perfect for bedtime, quiet family reading, classroom conversations, or as a thoughtful gift for young children, this story reminds readers that sometimes turning off a screen helps us notice everything still glowing around us.
Join Luma beneath the stars as she rediscovers friendship, imagination, and the light that makes her special.
