As Ronan and her mother spend an afternoon together, the girl notices a sparkling brightness--flowing in the notes of a street musician, blaring from billboards, and flying from dancers on stage. Why does she sometimes feel bright--and where could she find that brightness when she wants it? Curious, she experiments . . . until she discovers the magic can come from her, too, when she dances, draws, and paints. Sometimes It's Bright explores how being our most creative selves brings joy to us and to the world.

“My daughter loves to point out new things every time we read it, and doesn’t let me go to the next page until she has fully absorbed the art.
But enough about the art. The story itself is beautiful! I love the message that the “it factor” is every where and in all of us. And when we’re fostering it, it positively influences those around us.”
