Tilly and the Glow Within is a heartwarming picture book about self-worth, confidence, and discovering that your dreams already belong to you.

When Benny hears his classmates dreaming of becoming astronauts, athletes, and famous performers, he starts to doubt his own quiet dream of becoming a gym teacher. Feeling unsure, Benny stumbles upon something magical: a glowing pink candle camper named Tilly and her joyful guide, Jenni Glow.

Inside Tilly, the air smells like vanilla and adventure, and shelves of colorful candles shimmer with possibility-each one holding a dream waiting to shine. As Benny helps a candle named Lume find his glow, he learns that being "ordinary" doesn't mean being unimportant. Sometimes the brightest light is the one that's been there all along.

Filled with imagination, gentle humor, and meaningful moments, Tilly and the Glow Within reminds children that they are already whole and worthy-exactly as they are.

Created by Jenni Zielke, written by Maya Moneze, and illustrated by Lily Desmond, this is the first book in the Adventures of Tilly the Candle Camper series.
