Ian and the Lantern: A Story of Integrity Ian and the Lantern is a beautifully illustrated children's picture book that helps young readers understand the power of integrity-doing what's right, even when it's hard or when no one is watching.
Ian's special lantern glows whenever he makes honest and thoughtful choices. When Ian and his friends set out on a treasure hunt, they face moments of temptation, shortcuts, and peer pressure. As Ian listens to his inner voice and chooses the honest path, his lantern shines brighter, guiding the group toward a meaningful discovery far greater than gold.
Through gentle storytelling and warm, engaging illustrations, Ian and the Lantern teaches children that integrity is reflected in everyday decisions-keeping promises, telling the truth, and choosing the right path even when it takes courage.
