Bookroo's summary

A boy ventures into the dark woods to find his lost stuffed bunny, only to encounter a lonely bear and other seemingly scary creatures. As he bravely shares his night light, he discovers that these creatures, like him, seek comfort and companionship. Will he find his bunny and bring light to the darkness? This enchanting tale explores courage and friendship in unexpected places.

From the publisher

Being afraid of the dark doesn’t mean being afraid alone. When a boy can’t find his favorite stuffed bunny, he bravely heads into the woods to look for it. Instead, he finds a big, scary brown bear! But the bear is just lonely, so the boy shares his night light and forges ahead with his new companion, until…they run into two frightening giants! As the boy continues on, he comes across other seemingly menacing creatures, but finds that–like him–they’re just looking for some comfort and security before bedtime. Simple text and classic European style meet a fresh, modern twist in this delightful picture book.
