The story
In a cave on a hill above a little country town lives Ember, a small green dragon who can breathe tiny puffs of sparkly smoke. But Ember has a big secret: he's afraid of the dark. Every evening he curls up tight and hides his eyes behind his wings.
One night a girl named Isla climbs the hill with her torch, searching for her runaway cat. When she hears a sniffle in the cave, she doesn't run away. She sits down beside Ember and tells him that she gets scared sometimes too. Then she switches off her torch and says, "Look up." The sky is full of stars, and together they make something wonderful: a glowing star jar.
