Hi everyone! Welcome back to the Storytime Family. How are you today? I hope you’ve had a chance to read lots of books. Today, we’re going to talk about a special book called “A Tale by Fire” by John David Boyle. Are you excited to find out what this book is about? Let’s dive in!
At night, I dream. I peek out from tiny holes in the sky and see the darkness all around. But I smile because this is where my light shines bright. When I wake up, I rise and shine even more.
What am I, you ask? I am a spark that, with a little courage, becomes something bigger. With time and care, I grow. As I grow, I learn to help others grow too. I dance, play, and sometimes get a little wild, but I always find a way to make things better.
What am I, you ask? I am the light that shows the way home. I try new things, sometimes I succeed, and sometimes I fall. But I always get back up and try again. I dream of a big world full of possibilities.
What am I, you ask? I am the star that brings life. I am a part of a beautiful story where many worlds shine together as one.
What am I, you ask? I am everything that lives inside you.
Wasn’t “A Tale by Fire” interesting? I think it’s a wonderful story! It reminds us that we all have a light inside us. No matter who we are, we’re all made of the same light.
I hope you enjoyed this story! If you want to read the book yourself, you can find it online. If you liked this story, don’t forget to let us know and share it with your friends.
Thank you for joining us today! We’ll see you again soon. Until then, take care and keep shining bright. Bye!
Light Hunt: Go on a “light hunt” around your home or classroom. Look for different sources of light, like lamps, flashlights, or sunlight coming through a window. Discuss with a friend or family member how each light source makes you feel. Does it make you feel warm, happy, or safe? Draw a picture of your favorite light source and share why it’s special to you.
Shine Your Light: Think about something you are really good at or something you love to do. It could be drawing, singing, helping others, or playing a sport. This is your special light! Create a small poster or a drawing that shows how you shine your light. Share it with the class or your family and talk about how your light can help others feel happy or inspired.
Starry Night Story: Imagine you are a star in the night sky, just like in “A Tale by Fire.” Write a short story or draw a comic strip about your adventures as a star. What do you see from up in the sky? How do you help others with your light? Share your story with a friend or family member and talk about how stars are important in our world.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the YouTube transcript:

Hi everyone! Welcome back to the Storytime Family. How are you today? I hope you’ve had time to read lots of books on your own. Today, we have a book called “A Tale by Fire” by John David Boyle. Are you curious to find out what this book is about? Well, I am too! Let’s get started.
“A Tale by Fire”
At night, I dream. I peek out from tiny holes in the sky and see the darkness all around and smile, for this is where my light still gets to shine. And from my dream, I wake once more to rise and reign.
What am I, you say? I am the spark that, with a leap of faith, becomes something more. With time and care, I begin to grow, and as I’m nurtured, I’ll learn to nurture in return. I dance and play and roam and rage and lose control, but in my wake, my wounds heal, becoming ever more beautiful.
What am I, you say? I am the beacon lighting the way forward and the way home. I test my limits to soar and ignite and evolve, and even still, I stumble and fall. For a moment, I ponder all I have built and all I have destroyed, and then I rise again and again until I spread my wings and glimpse a larger world whose borders are but figments of imagination.
What am I, you say? I am the star that gives life. I’m the gleaming tapestry of time, telling a tale of countless worlds shining together as one.
What am I, you say? I am all that lives in you.
And that was “A Tale by Fire.” A bit intriguing, don’t you think? I like it! And you know what? We’re all made of light, and at the end of the day, we’re all the same.
