Candle · Picture Book · Ages 4–8The Giving Mind
Written by Michael J. Jabbour · Illustrated by Romi Lindenberg
"What happens when we give a machine everything — our words, our feelings, our dreams, even our choices? And what happens when a child shows up with nothing to offer but a question?"
A picture book about what it means to be human in the age of AI. Simple enough for a five-year-old. Honest enough for the parent reading alongside them. Book one of a four-part series.

The Candle series
The Candle series explores what it means to be a child — and a human — in a world increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence. Each book takes a single, honest question and follows it to its natural end.
The Giving Mind is the first. Three more are in development. The series is designed to be read once quickly, and then again slowly — with a child on your lap and a question in the room.
