Bookroo's summary

As night descends, a young girl drifts into slumber, while the world around her transforms. From the woods to the ocean, and the city to her porch, the night deepens in harmony. Her parents watch over her, enveloped in the serene beauty of the evening. What secrets does the night hold as it weaves its magic across her dreams?

From the publisher

While a young girl sleeps, nighttime deepens all around her–in the woods and garden, on the ocean, in the city, and on the porch, where her parents sit.
