A celebration of the dark and all the ways it can heal, comfort, console, and create

How do you feel about the dark? Is it creepy or cozy? Eerie or awesome? The dark doesn't have to be scary. After all, it's for sleeping, for growing, for healing, and for changing into something new. Humans depend on the dark for their health and well-being, and so do other living things.

A love letter to darkness, this informational picture book incorporates STEM content to gently encourage readers to look at the dark in new ways. Lyrical, poetic text and soft, striking illustrations make for a delightful read aloud.
