From the publisher

“Positively enchanting… a fast favorite.” –Los Angeles Book Review What would you do if three giants appeared at your bedroom window and invited you to join them in their nightly mission of restoring the world’s beauty and peace? In the tradition of classic children’s literature, this thoughtful, poignant bedtime story is an homage to the child’s journey of self-discovery and the adventure of becoming who we are meant to be in the world. Oliver’s deep joy is sparked when he is making art. But at school one day, his classmates’ teasing and criticisms cause him to doubt his creative choices and disparage his gifts. That evening, three giants appear at his bedroom windows and convince Oliver to help them with their nighttime work of mending the world. They assure Oliver he’s needed because he “sees what is missing.” As Oliver travels through the world and helps the Night Giants with their mending and tending, he learns to lead with his imagination and trust the ways his unique dreams can be gifts to the world.
