Lily Ann Fenwyn
by Lily Ann Fenwyn
Lillie’s Light on Sparkly Pond is a gentle illustrated story about kindness, courage, and the quiet ways we care for one another.
When Lillie, a thoughtful and watchful dog, notices small creatures in need around Sparkly Pond, she responds not with fear or noise—but with presence, patience, and heart. Through soft moments and simple acts, Lillie shows that being brave doesn’t always mean being loud, and that light can come from compassion as much as strength.
Written for children who feel deeply—and for the adults who read with them—Lillie’s Light is a calming, reassuring story about empathy, protection, and the beauty of showing up.
Lillie’s Light is a gentle story about kindness, courage, and the quiet ways we help one another.
At Sparkly Pond, Lillie is a loving hound with a soft heart and a steady spirit. She doesn’t roar or rush. She listens, notices, and shows up when it matters most. When others are scared, small, or unsure, Lillie’s light helps guide the way.
Inspired by real moments of bravery and compassion, Lillie’s Light reminds young readers that being kind is a strength, and that even the smallest acts of care can make a big difference.
This beautifully illustrated picture book is perfect for children ages 3–7 and for anyone who believes that gentleness, empathy, and love are powerful things.
Just like all Adventures on Sparkly Pond books, pages for coloring are included at the end of the story!
Warrior, Maker, Storyteller
Lily Ann Fenwyn spent over three decades building technology, solving problems, and leading teams before sitting down to write her first novel. A U.S. Marine veteran, artist, and artisan, she spent more than thirty years navigating the corporate world before answering the call of old stories, symbols, and forgotten histories. Today, her work explores history, legacy, and the stories we inherit about who we are—especially those that have taught girls and women to forget who they were born to be. Warrior’s Daughter is the first book in an illustrated series for women and girls about courage, friendship, memory, and the dangerous act of remembering who you are. Lily Ann lives in Virginia, where she writes stories, creates artifacts, and works to leave the world a little harder for old lies to survive in. Learn more at thoragreyhawk.com.

What if the stories you’ve been told about yourself were never true?
Fourteen-year-old Ari Rowan knows her place.
The world around her seems built on invisible rules—rules about who matters, who speaks, who leads, and who is expected to stay quiet.
Then her grandmother gives her an old pendant. Strange things begin to happen. Ancient symbols appear where none existed before. Dreams blur into memory. A warrior from another time watches from the edges of her dreams. And the more she begins to question the stories she’s been told, the more she discovers that those stories were never meant to protect her.
They were meant to contain her.
Ari must choose between the life she has been taught to accept and remembering a truth powerful enough to change everything.
