A warm story about jealousy, connection, and sharing the sunshine

Amara loves her family, but when everyone focuses on her new baby sister, a heavy, prickly feeling arrives. She hides her family drawing and thinks her own light has become smaller. With her mother’s help, Amara learns to name jealousy, ask for connection, remember her strengths, and discover that love and attention can be shared.
