“Tell me please: What is The Night?” asks a little girl of the earthworm, the owl, the firefly… Glowing out from the pages, their answers merge into a tapestry of the more mysterious sides of night-time and the curious habits of creatures that come to life in darkness. A breathtaking ‘nature facts’ book, in which striking visuals and punny verse illuminate an alternative world where light and sight don’t matter.

A young readers' delight
“Younger readers delight in this kind of interaction with a book: it will reveal its secrets with each subsequent re-reading.” — Priyanka Bhattacharya, The Book Review, November 2018
Sweet and clever
The premise of the story is sweet and clever, and it serves as an effective vehicle for introducing young readers to nocturnal creatures. Additionally, the story exposes children to the idea of multiple perspectives, which is a cornerstone of learning about empathy. Kirkus review
