Mole loves autumn, but when night falls, he prefers to stay safely inside. The dark is far too scary. One night, Mole kindly shares his glowing pumpkin light with friends who pass by in the wind and shadows. But when Mole steps into the darkness himself and his light goes out, fear takes over.

Lost and alone, he soon discovers that the kindness he gave has followed him into the night.

A warm, gentle tale about overcoming fear, the comfort of friendship, and how even the smallest light can shine brightest when it’s shared.

What if your guide to the cosmos starts to lose his way?

Fascinated by her grandad, a famous astronomer, a little girl could listen to his star stories for hours. But one day he starts to forget the constellations and eventually he can’t even remember her name. Discover how love can reach across galaxies whether stars shine brightly or grow dim.
