About the Book
A gentle story to help parents and children discuss racial injustice and empower young readers to let their inner lights shine
Like her favorite superheroes, Eden always knew how to save the day.
That is, until one night, she sees something troubling on the television: the story of a Black man who was unjustly treated and hurt by the police. For the first time, Eden feels scared, and she's not exactly sure how to explain it. She does know one thing for sure: the dark seems much scarier now than it did before.
Eden's parents try their best to explain that she is protected and safe, but none of the things that usually soothe her work. It's only when her mother reminds Eden that people can never take away her inner light that Eden understands her most powerful tool to fight the dark.
