The Lost Light

Some lights go dim for a while… but they’re never truly gone.

Eleven-year-old Kira used to feel like the brightest girl in every room — curious, funny, and full of ideas. But ever since her mom got sick, everything feels different. The house is quieter. Her nights are heavier. And the light inside her doesn’t glow the way it used to.

At school, Kira hides her worries behind jokes and forced smiles. At home, she tries to be strong so she won’t make things harder. But pretending she’s okay only makes the dark feel darker.

When a new school project introduces her to a classmate who understands what it’s like to carry scary feelings, Kira slowly learns that losing your shine doesn’t mean you’ve lost yourself. Through gentle conversations, honest emotions, and small acts of courage, she discovers how to name her fears, ask for help, and reconnect with the love that hasn’t left her — not even for a moment.

Because even when life changes the way things look,
your light is still yours.
And it can always come back brighter.
