Lumina — Brigitte Weninger

Lumina comes from far, far away -- just where, nobody knows. Her mother and father passed away, and now she is all alone in the world. No one will give her shelter from the bitter cold. Her only comfort is a lantern, which brings her light and a little warmth. Then her lantern goes out, leaving Lumina with nothing. But Lumina is not entirely alone. There is a kind old owl, and a bright light in the distance, and even a little Christmas spirit to be found. Lumina's story, illustrated with lovely atmospheric pictures, will warm and brighten the cold days of winter.
