The Invitation by Roger LeBlanc is a beautifully illustrated children’s book and family read-aloud story about light, responsibility, and the quiet courage to notice what others overlook. Published by Lantern Legacy Press.
Book 1 — The Invitation
The Invitation is the first title in the Wee-Land Trilogy, a planned series of illustrated stories for children and families. The book is designed to be read aloud, shared, and returned to — a gentle story that rewards attention and invites reflection.
In this story, a child is drawn toward something quietly important — a light others overlook, a responsibility that arrives without fanfare, and a choice that reveals character. The Invitation explores themes of courage, moral imagination, responsibility, and wonder in a way that is accessible for young readers and meaningful for adults.
Readers who enjoy classic children’s literature, thoughtful family stories, and richly illustrated books will feel at home in Wee-Land. This is a story for parents, grandparents, educators, and anyone looking for a read-aloud book that encourages attentiveness, compassion, and hope.
Book 2 — The Keeping
Book 3 — The Cost
The trilogy continues with Book 2: The Keeping and Book 3: The Cost (planned volumes). Each book builds naturally on the last, deepening the themes of light, responsibility, and the kind of courage that grows quietly — one choice at a time.
Wee-Land is not a place explained all at once, but a world discovered gradually, through attention, memory, and return. Each volume stands on its own, while together they form a single, unfolding journey meant to be revisited over the years.
