David has a problem. His teacher says everyone has a light inside, but he can't find his. When Grandpa notices David's tears, they explore things that make David feel good-his own brown eyes and smile, the way the flowers smell, and a cozy bedtime story with his mom. Suddenly, David feels his light. But back at school, his friend Elsie is sad and needs his help. Here, he uncovers the greatest truth of all: the more he shines his light, the more light there is. Little David's Big Light explores a universally-appealing message of how gratitude can lead to more mindfulness, kindness, and love.
