Description

Lesedi’ s Little Light is a heartwarming tale that helps children and their caregivers navigate the dense topic of grief. The picture book shines a spotlight on the strength of community in times of sorrow and reminds us that even the smallest among us can bring light to the darkest moments. Lesedi, whose name means "Light" in Setswana, is the radiant center of her family’ s world in Botswana. Raised by her devoted mother and grandmother, she grows strong and joyful, her brightness illuminating their lives. But tragedy strikes when Lesedi loses her mother. Through the gentle guidance of her grandmother and the enduring power of love, Lesedi discovers the meaning behind her name. With the uplifting refrain, "This little light of mine," Lesedi and her grandmother rebuild their lives and reclaim their shared joy, reminding us that even the tiniest spark can dispel the deepest darkness.
