The bookshop

A copy with your child’s name in it

Give the first name with your order and Agnesa writes the dedication in by hand before the book is posted — the same way she signs them at book fairs.

How it works

Three steps

  • Choose the journey

    Book one is for the child who is afraid of the dark. Book two is for the one who is afraid of trying.

  • Give the first name

    One field at checkout. It is the name that will appear in the dedication, so spell it the way the child likes it.

  • Agnesa writes it in

    By hand, before the book is wrapped and posted. Standard copies are sent unsigned if you would rather keep it plain.

The last page

Something is left behind

On the pillow, right beside him, lay the same small key. Warm. As if someone had just been holding it.

The Luminous Train, book one

Many parents give their child a real one to keep — a key, a smooth stone, anything that can slip under the pillow and stand for the train. Children reach for it on the nights the story is not being read, which is precisely when it is needed.

Practical

Before you order

Where do you ship?

Agnesa posts from Belgium. For anywhere else, or for several copies at once, get in touch first and she will work out the postage with you.

Can I order for a bookshop or a school?

Yes, and dedicated copies can be part of it. Contact her for trade terms.

Is the book available elsewhere?

The English edition is on Amazon, and a French edition exists as Le Train Lumineux. A dedication is only possible when you order here.
