Mabel and Merryglow: The Spark Book

When darkness falls, Mabel the turtle’s worries begin to grow. While the rest of her family can simply tuck themselves into their shells, Mabel is frightened of the dark. She spends her days worrying about nighttime, and when she finally falls asleep, she’s troubled by scary dreams.

Then one evening, a kind little firefly comes to visit her for tea, bringing a tiny spark of light with him. With his help, Mabel begins to see the night differently. She learns that it’s okay to feel afraid, that her shell can be a safe and comforting place, and that she never needs to be ashamed of her fears.

Told through engaging comic-book-style panels, this heartwarming story offers a gentle and reassuring way for children to explore fears, worries, and the comfort of friendship.
