Introducing Our First Story
About the Story
Always My Parent, Always My Light is the first book in the Lumi Universe. Created to help children navigate the loss of a parent, it gently reminds young readers that love never truly leaves us.
Through Nova’s journey, children discover that even in life’s darkest moments, the memories, love, and light of those we cherish continue to guide them—because every child deserves a North Star.
