About The Light in Me Sees the Light in You

The creator of the beloved Maple books pays tribute to the power of friendship and the bonds that endure after the loss of a loved one.

Something magical happens when a little girl encounters a small red bird–the two instantly see eye-to-eye, and see that there is something in each other that transcends time and space. They become fast friends and connect over their love of listening to the wind, looking at clouds, splashing in puddles, and eating snacks. But the bird can fly, so the girl pretends she can too. Then one day the bird is gone and life isn’t the same. The girl is lonely, but the bird visits her in her dreams and she is comforted as they fly together; then as the days pass, the wind, the clouds, and the rain all help her remember her friend and feel the spark of her friend’s light still shining within herself.
