In the Singing Forest, every tree sings a happy song. A tiny light named Lumi lives in a big old oak tree. Lumi is very small, but Lumi is brave. Brave means you do something even when you feel scared. Every morning, Lumi sings with the forest.
One day, the forest song stops. The trees are quiet. Quiet means no sound at all. The birds do not sing. The flowers do not dance. Lumi feels sad and worried. "What can I do?" Lumi asks. "I am only a little light."
