**A beautiful and uplifting story about courage, friendship, and the sparkling magic of Lunar New Year**

Logan can’t wait for tonight’s big lantern festival - and he’s crafted an enchanting little dragon lantern to join the celebration. But when the lights fade and the shadows grow, his treasured dragon becomes afraid of the dark.

With fireworks rumbling overhead and vibrant lanterns glowing all around, Logan will need to muster all his courage to get himself and his little dragon to the festival. Along the way, he discovers something magical: bravery isn’t just about facing what’s scary - it’s about lighting the way for those we care about.

Set against the shimmering backdrop of Lunar New Year festivities, this tender, uplifting tale celebrates the bonds of friendship, the spark of courage, and the joy of traditions passed down through generations.
