When the dark feels too big

Every night the shadows grow and the room goes quiet. Lumi's hooves go tip-tap and her heart goes thump-thump. She isn't quite ready to turn off the light.

But Lumi isn't alone. Lia holds her hoof. Rio makes her giggle. Noa points to the little stars in the rain. And Mossy the teddy whispers the most important secret of all — the night says goodnight before we even know it.

A child reaches toward a single bright star through a rainy bedroom window at night.

"Being scared doesn't mean being alone — and it's always okay to feel it."
