Small lights, big hearts
Pip
The Small Light
A little bat in red earmuffs who carries the smallest lantern in Timblemoon — and finds out that small is exactly enough.
Soot
The Baker Cat
The black cat who keeps the bakery warm, carries pies up Lantern Lane, and learns that a ruined feast can still feed a village.
Puff
The Friendly Ghost
Shy, gentle and always nearby, Puff is the first to lift a little nightlight when the dark gets too big.
Plum
The One Who Calls
In her headscarf with the biggest pie, Plum is the neighbour who hugs you first and then rallies the whole hill.
Wattle
The Turkey
Carries acorns for the squirrels and keeps the count at every gathering. Nobody is forgotten on Wattle's watch.
Grandpa Rusk
The Storyteller
The scarecrow who carries the story. When the lanterns hang in the Big Oak, he opens his book and everyone sits close.
Hazel
Keeper of the Great Lantern
Orange bow, red boots, and one half of the pair strong enough to carry the biggest light up the lane.
Bram
Puller of the Red Wagon
In his pumpkin hat, Bram hauls the wagon and holds the other handle of the Great Lantern, whatever the wind does.
