Mira and the Beacon Beyond the Storm: A Story of Courage, Love, and the Light We Share

When the coast goes dark, Mira has one light-and one impossible choice.

Seven-year-old Mira lives in a lighthouse village with her grandfather while her mother studies sea life aboard a research ship. Mira knows how to polish a brass rail and count seven waves. She does not know how to stop worrying that one wrong choice could hurt someone she loves.

Then the Hollow Storm steals every guiding light along the coast. Mira discovers the Manylight Lantern, an ancient lantern that shines only when fear is spoken honestly and love is chosen anyway. With Nimbus, a silver cloud fox whose tail reveals every feeling he tries to hide, Mira follows a vanishing road toward a forgotten beacon.

But helping a trapped moonray costs precious time, thunder freezes Nimbus in his tracks, and the lantern's final spark can complete only one act. Mira can guide her mother's ship home-or restore the beacon for every lost boat and creature.

Mira and the Beacon Beyond the Storm is a magical, emotionally rich picture-book adventure for ages 5-8, created for bedtime reading, classroom discussion, and families navigating fear, separation, courage, kindness, and hope. Includes parent-and-educator discussion prompts and a first glimpse of the next Mira's Faraway Lights adventure.
