Lucy Fleming Books

A dreamy bedtime story for any child who loves magic and fantasy, or stories of fairies and pixies! Now published into 22 languages worldwide!

Through stunning illustrations, child readers will be transported into an enchanting woodland world that stars a tiny little moth girl called Ella.

Ella has always dreamed of seeing the sunrise. But with her delicate gossamer moth wings, she can only come out at night. So when the moon is high, she collects as many shimmering beams of light she can find – a twinkle from a star, the glow from a lamp post… With her light, she guides lost and lonely animals to safety and sends light into children’s bedrooms to soothe them in their sleep.

Ella’s new friends, Sable the fox and Luna the Owl, want to return her kindness and they know the perfect way to do it! They will make something very special that will help Ella to see her very first sunrise…

Full of imagination, this is a cosy and magical tale that celebrates kindness and friendship – taking care of one another and enabling each other’s dreams.

An enchanting new story from the creator of Ella’s Night Lights and Lily, the Pond Mermaid about facing change, learning to voice difficult emotions and taking a leap into the unknown.

Oak is a mythical little leaf girl who lives with her leaf parents on the branch of an ancient oak tree. She loves nothing more than exploring and playing with the creatures and insects of her tree world. But as the weather shifts and the slow season begins, Oak realizes that she and her family must leave the tree. It is time for them to float down to the ground where they can nestle into their winter acorn home, and see out the cold until spring returns once more. But Oak refuses to move – she doesn’t understand why they have to go and she’s afraid of what’s next. Why does change feel so hard?
