The Books

The Adventures of Niko and Lira is a series of bedtime picture books for ages 2 to 8, written by Jonathan Seal. Every night, when the first star comes out, the story goes to Lumingrove, where twins Niko and Lira live with their family in Lanternleaf House.

Each book is a complete story you can read on its own. Each one is also about something that matters to small children, like understanding how someone else feels.

  • The cover of A Light for Tavi: inside a golden frame of leaves and lanterns, Niko and Lira kneel beside their baby brother Tavi, who holds a small glowing stone.
