When the lights are out, it’s hard to know what’s going on. And it's easy to be nervous or scared. After all, in the shadows, we can’t see the world around us. But there is so much beauty and wonder that happens in the dark.
In the ocean’s depths creatures can’t see, but they have taken shapes and gained abilities that would never occur to us. Moths cocoon and transform. Bears hibernate in dens, waiting for the warm weather. At night, humans rest, look inwards, and dream. And even further out, in the dark expanse of the universe, mystery calls to us.
Do You Know the Dark? soothes anxious young readers in accessible, lyrical text that there's nothing to be afraid of. That even at night, there is so much to discover.
