All ages will benefit from this life affirming story of courageous exploration!
"I have a lot of questions and really big feelings - sometimes I am unsure and lonely. When I have friends to travel along with me, my curiosity grows, and I am much more confident!" - Lumi
I am Lumi and
I want to be your friend!
What If, I Am... is the highly anticipated second book in the What if... series of A Lumi Story picture books. In this story Lumi wonders what it means to be whole. In this heartwarming adventure Lumi discovers thoughts and feelings are just as important as what is seen! Lumi learns relationships built on wholeness grow into bonds that evolve throughout life and bond loss.
BOOK TWO!
"II know I have a light inside that others cannot see... And even if that light goes out, I will still be me" - Lumi
A MESSAGE FROM LUMI!
I am a light being, which makes it just a little easier to find my way around in the dark. I have a very special spiral on top of my head and it helps me connect to my friends - near and far! I like to shine my light for others having a hard time finding their own. I'm a really good listener and I know how important it is to ask A LOT of questions. I hope when you find yourself in the dark, you will call on me, we can explore together, and when your light grows - you will confidently seek out ways to il-Lumi-nate the adventure for others!
