Bookroo's summary

Ray, a light bulb confined to a closet, dreams of more than darkness. When he's placed in a lantern, his world expands beyond imagination. Surrounded by vast wonders, Ray feels small yet exhilarated. As dawn breaks, he uncovers a life-altering secret. What will Ray discover in this new, bright world?

From the publisher

A humorous picture book about the adventures of a light bulb who embarks on an enlightening journey, from the acclaimed author-illustrator of Petra. At the end of the hall, near the staircase, is a closet. In that closet lives Ray, who is a light bulb. Ray spends most of his time in darkness, which is pretty boring if you don’t know how to fill it. So boring that Ray usually slips into a dreamless sleep . . . Everything changes one day when Ray is migrated into a portable lantern and taken on the trip of a lifetime. He wakes up in a much larger closet (the outside), surrounded by incredible things - too many to count! Everything is super big, and Ray has never felt so small. And in the morning, Ray makes an incredible discovery which will change his life forever. Meet Ray, a charming new character from the imaginative mind of Marianna Coppo, the creator of Petra!
