What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

“A mesmerizing invitation to embrace night’s beauty–great for bedtime shelves and budding naturalists alike.” –Kirkus, starred review From the author of More Than Words and Together, a Forest comes a breathtaking new picture book, perfect for bedtime, about the wonders of the dark.When the lights are out, the world transforms into shadows and endless night sky. We go from seeing what is around us to uncertainty. It’s natural to feel nervous or scared, but the dark holds so many discoveries, if we only know where to look. Within cocoons, caterpillars become moths. Bears rest in dens, waiting for warmer months. Sea creatures swim in depths that the light never touches. Beyond the stars, in the unexplored expanse of the universe, mystery and wonder call to us. In accessible, lyrical text, Do You Know the Dark? offers new ways to think about the unknowns of darkness, appreciating its gifts of rest, regeneration, and possibility. Beyond what we can perceive in the daylight, could there be beauty we had never thought to imagine?
