Behind a tall stack of old picture books, she found a surprising new friend named Pip. Pip was a ghost, but he was not scary at all; he looked like a fluffy white marshmallow with big, curious blue eyes. Lily sat down on the wooden floor and asked Pip why he was hiding all by himself. Pip sighed a little ghostly sigh and looked at the shadows in the corner of the room.

Lily, a thoughtful child with tan skin and straight black hair, looks kindly at Pip, a tiny, fluffy white ghost who looks like a floating marshmallow with big, curious blue eyes. Lily is kneeling on the floor while Pip peeks out from behind a blue book.

Pip leaned in close and told Lily a very big, very unusual secret. Even though he was a ghost, Pip was actually very afraid of the dark! Whenever the sun went down and the shadows grew long, Pip would shiver and shake like a leaf. Lily felt sorry for her new friend and wanted to help him feel brave. She decided that they should find a way to make the night feel cozy instead of spooky for a little ghost.

Lily is smiling warmly at Pip and listening to him talk.

Lily remembered a story her grandmother told her about a magical Glow-stone hidden in the garden. They set off on a grand quest, walking past the tall, nodding sunflowers and under the heavy branches of the oak tree. Lily held Pip’s hand, which felt like holding a soft, cool breeze. They looked under every mossy rock and behind every bush to find the stone that could shine forever. Pip was nervous about the sun setting, but Lily promised to stay right by his side.

Suddenly, the sky turned a deep shade of purple and the very first stars began to twinkle in the air. Pip started to tremble and tried to hide behind Lily’s shoulder as the garden grew dim. Lily quickly pulled out her bright yellow flashlight to light their path with a steady beam. She told Pip that the dark was just the world closing its eyes for a happy nap. With the light leading the way, Pip felt a tiny spark of courage in his heart.

Right near the edge of the shimmering pond, they found a smooth pebble that glowed with a soft, golden light. Lily picked it up and placed it gently in Pip’s hands, and the little ghost immediately began to beam with joy. The Glow-stone acted just like a tiny nightlight that Pip could carry wherever he floated. Now, Pip wasn't afraid of the dark anymore because he carried a little piece of sunshine with him. Lily and Pip sat by the water, watching the moon rise together as best friends.
