{ "item_title" : "The Wick of Wit", "item_author" : [" Lindsay Hiebert "], "item_description" : "A lantern, a boy, and twenty tiny tales that turn wisdom into something a child can carry through a dark room. When the world feels noisy, foggy, unfair, or a little too big, The Wick of Wit gives children - and the grown-ups who read with them - twenty short, rhyming tales that can be read in five minutes and remembered for years. Meet Wick-it Will - a curly-haired boy with an orange neckerchief and a lantern that only glows when he says something true. Across twenty tiny adventures, Will outwits a Boomerang Sneer, shares his last crust with the Ghost of Hunger, tames a Fire-Breather with the right diet of words, bows to a beetle wiser than a king, buys a question from a wise old shopkeeper, and learns why a suitcase of stones makes the lightest road home. Each tiny tale is a little lantern with three doors:The Trick - the upside-down idea hidden inside the story.The Glow - one simple sentence a child can carry like a pocket-lamp.Pass the Flame - a small kind action to do before sunset.Through twenty lantern-words - including Love, Truth, Courage, Humble, Peace, Hope, Patience, Kindness, Gratitude, and more - children discover character virtues through playful stories, memorable rhymes, original watercolor-style illustrations, Shakespeare-inspired wisdom, and Bible verse inspiration for the curious heart. Designed for shared reading at breakfast, bedtime, in the classroom, during Sunday school, or anytime a child needs a small lamp for a big feeling:20 short illustrated chapters - one tale a day, not one bingeVerse-style stories children can hear, remember, and recite by week's endA Grown-up Whisper on every page - the teaching note behind each taleAges 5-10 - perfect for read-aloud, classrooms, homeschool, Sunday school, and family devotionsA gentle bridge between classic wisdom, faith inspiration, and everyday actionIn these stories, light means wisdom made small enough for a child to hold - a sentence, a choice, a kindness, a brave little action. Light is not meant to be stared at - it is meant to be carried. Read one tiny tale at a time, and watch a small lamp teach a dark room to change its mind.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers1.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/819/629/9798196290640_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "11.99", "online_price" : "11.99", "our_price" : "11.99", "club_price" : "11.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
