Luma and the Heartwood Maze

A Spiralverse™ Illustrated Children’s Book by Heileny Suárez

A luminous Spiralverse™ tale of gentleness, courage, and the quiet magic that awakens when children choose compassion over fear.

A story about finding safety in kindness, discovering strength in softness,

and remembering that care, even the smallest kind, is powerful enough to transform a world.

Format: Fully Illustrated Children’s Poetic Book · Language: English · Age: 5–12 (and every heart that remembers being small)

A warm Spiralverse™ reflection on empathy, dignity, and the moment when wounded spirits discover that they are worthy of tenderness.

The Story:

Mira, Taro, and Nilo enter the ancient Heartwood Maze, a place where spirals glow in the leaves and the air hums with gentle magic.

There they meet Luma, a small, luminous creature woven of softness, starlight, and quiet courage.

But joy fades when the children encounter others who have been dimmed by the world beyond, creatures shamed for being gentle, mocked for their softness, hurt for simply existing with open hearts.

Luma steps forward, not with claws or fire,

but with warmth, light, and a spiral glowing softly in his chest.

Together, the children learn:

That gentleness is not weakness.

That kindness is a form of strength.

That healing begins when we refuse to shrink.

And that no one who glows softly should ever feel small.

Every page spirals through a journey of emotion, apprehension, sadness, empathy, courage, joy, until all of them discover the luminous truth:

Softness is powerful.

Kindness transforms.

Gentle hearts can change the world.
