<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Ray has spent his whole life as a light bulb in a lonely closet. But he's about to go on a big adventure!"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A humorous picture book about the adventures of a light bulb who embarks on an enlightening journey, from the acclaimed author-illustrator of <i>Petra</i>.</b> <p/>At the end of the hall, near the staircase, is a closet. In that closet lives Ray, who is a light bulb. Ray spends most of his time in darkness, which is pretty boring if you don't know how to fill it. So boring that Ray usually slips into a dreamless sleep . . . <p/>Everything changes one day when Ray is migrated into a portable lantern and taken on the trip of a lifetime. He wakes up in a much larger closet (the outside), surrounded by incredible things - too many to count! Everything is super big, and Ray has never felt so small. And in the morning, Ray makes an incredible discovery which will change his life forever. <p/>Meet Ray, a charming new character from the imaginative mind of Marianna Coppo, the creator of <i>Petra</i>!<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Ray is an unexpected, endearing hero who shines brightly in this tale. <b><i>--</i><b>STARRED REVIEW, </b><i> Booklist <p/></i></b>"Coppo has returned with another lovable new character in Ray, who reminds readers that all it takes is a little change in perspective to open up a whole new world." <b><i>--</i>STARRED REVIEW, <i>School Library Journal</i></b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>MARIANNA COPPO</b> is an author/illustrator from Italy.
