Little Glow by Katie Sahota Children's Book

Written by Katie Sahota and beautifully illustrated by Harry Woodgate, Little Glow celebrates the importance of introverts, while showcasing the beauty of light celebrations across a diverse culture. 

This book explores a variety of ways in which we celebrate light throughout the year. Events like Diwali, Hanukkah, Ramadan and the Chinese New Year all have such close ties with lights. Watching all of these celebrations out of the window, small candle 'Little Glow' wishes to be bolder and brighter. As a family all gather round Little Glow, it becomes clear that even the smallest of lights can have the biggest importance. 

With 32 pages of rhyming text and large colourful illustrations, this book is a perfect story for little ones - especially at bed time. It is a great introduction to different cultures and a lesson of self-love. A truly heartwarming story.

Owlet Press was founded by Samuel Langley-Swain in 2018, working with authors and illustrators with a shared passion – picture books which reflect the true diversity in children’s lives. Focusing on the challenges children face today and packaging these big issues into inclusive and accessible stories for small readers to digest and discuss with friends, families and schools. This indie children’s book publisher aims to change the world one book at a time, along with the best authors and illustrators to tell these stories.

Owlet Press have always published books that are 'incidentally inclusive' from day one and look to push this further with every title. With authors and illustrators from all walks of life - diversity is the driving ethos within this publisher. Owlet believe that it is key for young readers of colour to see children like them (and for white, non-disabled children to see children that don't always look like them) in books experiencing the joy and magic of playful, imaginative stories - a belief that we share at Babipur.
