A gentle, empowering story about bravery, belonging, and the light we all carry inside.
Elise is starting a brand-new school-and she's carrying more than just her backpack. Above her lip is a small scar, the kind people sometimes notice... and whisper about. At first, the whispers make her shrink. But with the warmth of her Grandma's love and a candlelit story about inner light, Elise begins to see herself in a brand-new way.
Now, Elise is ready to find her voice. To draw, to speak, and to shine.
Elise and the Light Above Her Lip is a beautifully illustrated picture book designed especially for children ages 5-10, including those with mild disabilities or visible differences. Through soft visuals and affirming storytelling, this book supports emotional regulation, confidence building, and inclusive classroom conversations about empathy, kindness, and inner strength.
Perfect for:

Inclusive classroom and bedtime reading
Every child has a light. Elise's story helps them find it.
