The Little Light: Guardians of Lore, Book 1
by Dipa Sanatani
In the whimsical debut novel, The Little Light, Dipa Sanatani invites you on a voyage of spiritual awakening. Imagine the celestial beings of mythology – Sun, Moon, Mercury, and more – as a squabbling family. They must set aside their differences to prepare the Little Light, a soul of wisdom and curiosity, for its earthly destiny. "A part of the Sun will always shine inside the Little Light..." These words echo as the Little Light navigates the Planet Party in the Cosmic Womb, a topsy-turvy realm of endless possibilities. Guided by Havah and Dag, the Guardians of the Lore, the Little Light learns to embrace its path, facing the challenges of a world where survival isn't guaranteed. Perfect for fans of mythology, spirituality, and fairy tales, The Little Light reveals infinite possibilities for love, happiness, and enlightenment, waiting to transform us all.

by Robin Wall Kimmerer
From the bestselling author of Braiding Sweetgrass, a powerful vision for living with gratitude, reciprocity, and community, inspired by nature's wisdom. Indigenous scientist Robin Wall Kimmerer explores the gift economy through the serviceberry, questioning our values. Can we learn from Indigenous knowledge and the plant world to reimagine what truly matters? Our economy prioritizes scarcity, competition, and hoarding, harming what we cherish. The serviceberry offers a model of interconnectedness and gratitude, sharing its abundance to nurture its community and ensure its survival. Kimmerer reveals how reciprocity, not accumulation, fosters genuine wealth and security through meaningful relationships. A vital reminder that mutual flourishing, not hoarding, is the key to our future. As Elizabeth Gilbert writes, Robin Wall Kimmerer is “a great teacher, and her words are a hymn of love to the world.”

by Marcel Proust
Marcel Proust dedicated the last fourteen years of his life to writing *Remembrance of Things Past* (Swann's Way). This intimate epic is an exploration of the self and a comedy of manners all at once. Proust, the Dante of the twentieth century, presents a unique, unsettling portrait of ourselves as jealous lovers and unrepentant snobs, frittering away our lives with only art offering a glimmer of salvation. He provides redemption for a sober, secular age. C.K. Scott Moncrieff's beloved translation, a labor of love nearly as long as Proust's writing process, was the gateway to Proust for English readers for decades. Moncrieff perfectly captures Proust's extraordinary blend of powerful analysis and poetic reverie, cementing its place as a translation classic. *Swann's Way* is one of the most rewarding reading experiences in any language, arguably the twentieth century's finest novel.
