★孩子怕黑嗎？該怎麼教導孩子在黑暗之中也能找到珍貴的光明？
★溫馨的故事，帶領孩子擁抱最真實的自我。
 
　　有一隻怕黑的小飛蛾，他只喜歡躲在自己舒適、明亮的家裡。小飛蛾有一個秘密：他最喜歡看星星，不過星星只在晚上出來，這時候外面總是黑漆漆的。
 
　　某天，星星給了小飛蛾勇氣，讓小飛蛾飛出家門，走進黑暗裡。在那裡，小飛蛾認識了一票怕黑的夥伴們，他們在黑夜的星空下玩耍，也一起閃閃發光，直到他們遇到了一群饑餓的青蛙。小飛蛾與夥伴們會被青蛙趕回屋子裡嗎？還是他們會找到解決之道，在黑暗中創造屬於他們自己的光明？
 
　　Shine這本美麗的繪本，創作靈感來自於作者自己小時候的經歷：害怕黑暗，卻又總是被美麗的星空吸引。這本抒情又富有戲劇效果的繪本，透過溫馨的故事鼓勵孩子擁抱自我，讓最真實的自己，展現自我特有的光芒！

＂A little moth hides from the dark, and doesn’t want to leave his bright and cozy home. But here’s a secret: he loves watching the stars. They only come out at night, though . . . when it’s dark outside. One night, the stars give the moth the courage to go outside into the night. There, he makes friends with other creatures who are also afraid of the dark, and they play and sparkle under the stars. But will a dangerous encounter with a group of hungry frogs drive the moth back inside? Or will it encourage him to create his own light in the darkness?＂--
