Please note: the lights in the book are LED lights which operate based on a sensor located on each page. The sensor may appear to be a light that does not work, but it is not. Additionally, the lights do not have a ‘twinkling’ effect – they do shine beautifully on each page. There also cannot be an obstruction of light over the sensor location.
