Ella and all the creatures look so cute and I love how so many of the animals seen earlier on in some of the pages appear again as the story continues. Although unable to venture out in daytime, because the sun would melt her delicate wings, every night she gathered the radiance of the moon and stars, and of the lamps in the nearby human town, sharing what she found with everyone who needed a reassuring glow in the darkness.

Il promeut également la beauté de la nature, une Nature que nous avons tendance à négliger et dont il faudrait réapprendre à respecter. But each night she collects bits of light to share with people who need help finding their way in the dark. Spolu s deťmi tak môžete preniesť príbeh aj do reality, kedy si spoločne pôjdete chytať svetielka, nakresliť vlastnú vílu, alebo vyrobiť jej priateľov. The narrative, whilst cute and an animal friendship story, was a bit less captivating but still perfect for a festive story or bedtime tale.

This experience has been fantastic primarily for the children, the school and also for me (professionally). The story follows a teeny girl named Ella, who cannot go out into the sun as the sun would burn her very delicate wings. C'est également une ode à la nuit, qui est souvent plus une source d'angoisse que d'émerveillement pour les plus jeunes. But Ella’s wings are too delicate for sunlight and she doesn’t think she’ll ever get to see the sun, until her forest friends help her.

Friendship, kindness, and gratitude are all illuminated in a quiet tale of a magical girl with mothlike wings. She has critter friends in the night forest that she cavorts with but they are sad she is not able to see the light of day. If you look very carefully at the night sky, you might spot a teeny-tiny sparkle out of the corner of your eye, a whisper of a tinkling trail. Ella shares her light with a fox who becomes a dear friend and her light helps a young owl learn to fly.Like The Star Maker’s Apprentice, this picture book is one that demands snuggling up with, reading together, often and lovingly. While it also offers a cute side of a moth, I really appreciated the book's uniqueness, and I think the students would like it as well.

They would also only drop off a case of books and leave us to run it – it was so lovely to have you on hand to chat to the children and recommend them books, as well as the small (but appreciated! It’s a fantastic independent book seller that will actually be responsive and select appropriate books for you. Through this sharing she makes several good friends that want to give her her greatest wish: to see the sunrise. There was just the right amount of choice to suit everyone without being overwhelming and I received comments from parents and staff about the quality of books offered compared to previous sales which have always been based around current crazes and well known celebrity authors. Thereafter, she shares ‘ her light with anyone who [needs ] some help finding their way in the dark‘.One night, they got their friends together and created a den of darkness so that she could watch the sunrise without the light ruining her wings. Non seulement distribue-t-elle de la chaleur aux gens, elle prend sous son aile un renard, puis un petit harfang ( hibou des neiges) et finalement, c'est une vraie ménagerie qui suit la petite fille-papillon. After an evening of fun with her animal friends, Sable the fox gathers her animal friends together to hatch a plan so Ella can see the sunrise. The story has strong messages of friendship, positivity and support and the need for self-awareness.

I would use this book to teach students how a little bit of kindness towards others can go a long ways. Je pense que "La petite collectionneuse de lumières" fait partie de ces albums qui méritent de devenir "classique". She makes friends with other nocturnal creatures by giving them a little of the light she gathers to help them.The fox is the star of the show, rather than beautiful Ella, as she realises she can befriend animals and shine a light on their darker moments - so much so that they now even look out for her too! Also, I can teach kids to treat others the way you want to be treated because in the end all of Ellas friends get together and help her with her dream. This story is whimsical and is paired with amazing illustrations that really bring Ella and her 'magic' to light.
