Nour loves the luminous glow she was born with, but it's only when it starts to dim that she discovers the true power of her brilliant light. Nour has a superpower: she glows. Her light shines so bright, she feels like a star in the night sky. But when kids at school notice her glow, they're not impressed. If she had a real superpower, they say, she could fly or turn invisible. So Nour stops feeling special. And as her light dims, her world darkens . . . until a nighttime cry from her baby sister shows her how powerful her glow can be. Ian De Haes's heartfelt story and radiant illustrations highlight themes of self-confidence, bravery, empathy, and the imaginative power of a strong female protagonist--whose name means light in Arabic.

“Nour was born luminous.
She glows.
She sparkles.
As though a little sun was
shining right inside of her.”
Some of the kids at school don't respect her ability to glow. Some even cut it down. Her ability to glow comforts her little sister at night, though, and the next day, Nour learns that her glow can be shared with others.
