The Little Lantern and the Big Wish

A smiling child in overalls and a knit hat holds a glowing lantern in a cozy attic bedroom while boxes of toys and books are being packed. Windy trees can be seen through the round window, and a cat sleeps peacefully on the rug.

Lila found a tiny lantern in Grandpa's attic, glowing like a sleepy firefly. When she whispered, "I wish I could help someone today," the lantern blinked twice and warmed her hands. Outside, the wind whooshed and carried a soft, worried sound from the park.
