Following the Copper Light
Are you ready to follow the copper light and see where it leads?
Following the Copper Light is an illustrated literary book composed of two self-contained yet delicately interconnected short stories about imagination, creativity, hope, and renewal.
The first story, In the Land of Song, follows a kingdom whose future depends on the stories created by its young people. Through their imagination, they reveal kindness, intelligence, courage, and the qualities that hold the promise of a brighter future.
In A Heart’s Little Refugee, a woman encounters the little refugee, the child that she once was, and begins to write. Through creative storytelling, she gradually brings a lost garden back to life after it has been destroyed by fear, vanity, indifference, and neglect.
Although each story stands on its own, both explore the transformative power of storytelling: the ability of words and imagination to heal, awaken, restore what has been lost, and open new paths toward happiness and hope.
Through folk songs, a dreamlike garden, a wise fox, and a mysterious copper light, the two stories meet in a shared world where creativity becomes an act of renewal.
This illustrated edition brings the stories together through an expanded narrative and visual journey, inviting readers not simply to follow the characters, but to rediscover the creative power within themselves.
Note: The stories In the Land of Song and A Heart’s Little Refugee also appear in other books of the Literature-Inspired Action series. In this illustrated edition, they are interconnected, expanded, and brought to life through images.
