This is a picture book by Luna Vargus about what happens when a little girl’s pet becomes her guiding light. After her pet bunny, Conejo, passes away, Selena is sad, lonely, and timid. Then, she remembers how Conejo brought light to her life. Just thinking about how her bunny gave her joy and courage, her heart swells, and she believes in “the possible” again.

Soon, Luna discovers the light of her little bunny’s spirit inside her, which gives her strength and guides her through life’s challenges.

Ah, you know me, dear reader. I’m a mess when a pet dies, even in storybook form. So yes, after grabbing the tissue box, I’m writing to tell you this book is a sweet way to remind all of us that pets, family, friends, and loved ones all manifest to light the way long after they’ve passed.

Whether through dreams, a song, a memory, or a flicker of starlight, we’re never alone. This lovely picture book reminds us that even the most miniature life can shine brightly, giving us the strength to achieve the impossible.
