What would you do if three giants came to your bedroom window one night and invited you to help them fix the world? In the tradition of classic journey stories in children's literature, this thoughtful, poignant bedtime story is an homage to the power of the imagination and significance of valuing one's dreams.

Oliver, a young boy and budding artist, has had a rough day. His creativity has been challenged when students in the classroom tease his painting. That evening, three giants appear in Oliver's bedroom windows as he is drifting off to sleep. The giants convince Oliver to help them with their nighttime work of repairing the world.

Oliver helps the giants with a long list of nighttime tasks, from brightening the moon to polishing the stars, from adjusting mountains to creating snowflakes, from planting seeds to calming the sea. As Oliver travels the planet and beyond with the Night Giants as an important part of their team, he learns to lead with his imagination and to value his dreams.

About the Author
Kitty O'Meara lives near Madison, Wisconsin, with her husband, Phillip Hagedorn, their five rescue dogs, two cats, gardens, and books. Formerly a middle school writing and literature teacher and hospital and hospice chaplain, she is currently a spiritual director and has been a lifelong writer and artist. She has been called "the poet laureate of the pandemic" based on her wildly popular, widely circulated, and hopeful poem about the Covid-19 pandemic. That poem is illustrated and presented in book form in the bestselling And the People Stayed Home, published by Tra Publishing. She is also the author of The Rare, Tiny Flower (Tra Publishing, 2021).

Born in Genoa, illustrator Anna Pirolli moved to Milan to study illustration at the European Institute of Design, where she graduated in 2001. She has worked as a freelance illustrator and art director for companies such as Mondadori, Pearson, Vogue, MTV, Kinder Ferrero, Telecom, Nickelodeon, Furla, Zecchino d'oro, Disney, following the creative process from concept to creation. She's also a visiting professor at the Accademia di Brera in Milan, where she teaches design applied to the arts. Despite her love for traditional techniques, her artwork is mostly digital. Ironically, her dream-like, suspended atmospheres often don't look digital at all. Her first picture book, I Hate My Cats, written by Davide Calì, was published by Chronicle Books, and the illustrations from her latest book, Anonymouse by Vikki VanSickle (Tundra Books), won the Dilys Evans Founder's Award in the 2021 Society of Illustrators Original Art Show.
