Theme Inspiration

“Light” is a universal symbol shared across cultures — from Thanksgiving and Bonfire Night, to India’s Diwali, Southeast Asia’s Loy Krathong, and Africa’s harvest festivals. Everywhere, people use lamps and fire to celebrate hope, learning, and gratitude.

Stories that Shine invites you to create stories about light and growth — in any form:

🌞 Phonics / Early Readers – stories for language learning and early literacy;

🌈 Picturebooks – original or reimagined tales inspired by light;

🔭 Non-fiction – explorations of light, shadows, stars, animals, and the natural world.

📘 Your story can spark curiosity and brighten how children see the world.
