About Ray

Join Mouse on a heartwarming adventure in Alex Latimer's charming picture book, Ray, as he confronts his fears of the dark. When twilight descends and shadows stretch long and menacing, Mouse finds himself scared and unsure how to navigate his journey home. His luck changes when he encounters Ray, a friendly firefly who promises to illuminate his path. Together, they embark on a starlit walk, where every shadow seems to hide a potential danger.

As they journey, joined by a meerkat, chickens, frogs, and squirrels, the group's anxieties about the lurking shadows grow. However, Ray, with his gentle light, flies close to reveal the true, often harmless, nature of these shadowy figures. Yet, the story playfully hints that sometimes, just sometimes, a shadow might be exactly what it appears to be. This delightful tale by Alex Latimer beautifully explores themes of bravery, friendship, and overcoming childhood fears, making it a perfect read for young children.
