One cosy evening Ori and his little brother, Noa, are playing together when a sudden power cut makes the lights go out in their city. The boys are scared: what if the lights never come back on?
Mum and Dad make games of shadow puppets and torch lights and take Ori and Noa to the window to show them the night sky. Without the glow of the streetlights there are more stars, blazing more brightly than they have ever seen before. ‘You can always find light in the darkness, if you know where to look.’ says Mum.
Together the families of the tower block gather, sharing their candles and flashlights, and their snacks and stories. Soon the building glows with human warmth and togetherness until the power returns.
