About This Book
Reach for this book when your little one starts to express hesitation about the lights going out or asks what happens in the world while they are sleeping. It is a gentle remedy for nighttime anxiety that transforms the 'scary' dark into a soft, velvety space full of life. Through a rhythmic, rhyming poem, a mother leads her child on a tour of their farm at midnight, discovering that the animals and even the wind are peaceful and safe. The story emphasizes the warmth of a mother's presence and the quiet wonder of the natural world. It is perfectly suited for children ages 2 to 5 who are developing an imagination that sometimes makes the shadows feel too big. By the final page, the dark is no longer an unknown void but a cozy, protective blanket that holds the whole world in a gentle embrace. It is a beautiful choice for establishing a calm, secure bedtime routine.
