A positive and heart-warming picture about an adorable lightbulb who embarks on a rather enlightening journey!


Meet Ray - the light bulb who lives in the closet at the end of the hall.

Ray’s days are pretty boring. He spends most of his time in the dark, and nothing ever changes. But one day, Ray’s life is turned upside down. Will Ray ever see things in the same light again?

With gentle humour and charming illustrations, Ray is a story that beams with positivity. From the acclaimed author-illustrator of Petra, Marianna Coppo.

About the Author

Marianna Coppo is an author and illustrator from Rome. She studied illustration at MiMaster in Milan and children's literature at the Accademia Drosselmeier in Bologna.


In her spare time—between eating bruschette and searching for flight offers online—Marianna works on her picture books. She uses a mixed technique combining tempera, pastels and digital collage, but sooner or later she'll try something different. Marianna loves irreverent stories, free camping, mountains, and filet mignon with green pepper.
