From glowing creatures of the deep ocean to dazzling auroras in polar skies, this captivating non-fiction book reveals the wonders that come alive when the Sun goes down. Young readers will discover night-blooming plants, underground worlds, and the science behind moon phases, shooting stars, and firework displays. With fascinating facts and stunning artwork on every page, Secrets of the Dark invites curious minds to explore the beauty and intrigue of darkness - and even understand why we fear it. Perfect for children aged 7 and up, this book blends nature, science and myth in a way that's both educational and enchanting and it's a luminous celebration of the world beyond the light.

Anna Claybourne has written over 150 children's books on all kinds of subjects, from sharks, black holes and splitting the atom to how to draw, Shakespeare's life, and Greek myths and legends. She knows a lot about conservation in the rain forests of Costa Rica as she once volunteered there for three months. She likes space, sewing and music, plays the trombone and loves going camping. Wazza was born in Ha Noi, Viet Nam and still lives there now. She has loved to read comics and picture books ever since she was a kid, and was also really excited to mimic the styles of her favorite comic book artists. So a long time ago, she began her dreams of becoming an illustrator. She kept practicing and learning from inference through books, the internet, and her artist friends. The freelancer environment improved and completed her art style. She still has a long way to go, but she hopes her work can one day inspire and motivate people to a better life. She likes to listen to some music while working. It helps her focus, and some tunes really inspire great ideas for her art pieces. She love cats and now has two kitties at home. She believes that having a pet is truly a way to perfect your life.
