Bookroo's summary

A young boy unlocks the Night Box, unleashing darkness and a world of wonder. As night dances and cares for its creatures, stars twinkle and a fox awakens. What mysteries unfold between sunset and sunrise? Discover the magic that night brings before it rests again.

From the publisher

Soothing bedtime reading, this reassuring and magical evocation of nighttime encourages imaginative exploration and marks the debut of a talented poet and illustrator picture-book pair. When a little boy opens the Night Box, darkness swoops out, a fox uncurls, and a thousand stars sparkle and shine. Night flows freely then, cavorting and exploring, caring for all its creatures until morning comes, and it’s time for Night to rest again. With its soothing cadences and air of quiet wonder, The Night Box is sure to charm any sleepy listener who wonders what happens between sunset and sunrise.
