A dusk till dawn walk through nature through the eyes of the animals who hunt, scavenge, play, dig and build while most people are tucked up in bed.
Beginning just as the human world is slowing down for the evening, A Walk in the Dark takes the reader into the woods and the moonlit countryside. As the sun sets, a family of rabbits hop out of their burrows . . . until they spot a hungry fox returning to the badger's sett . . . and follow the badger through a field where wood mice hide from owls circling overhead . . .
With fact boxes on every page and tips on how we can all help nocturnal animals, little ones will discover a whole world that's taking place in the dark.
Alice has never been at a loss for ideas. A childhood playing make-believe and working her way through the shelves of the local library helped fuel her imagination. She began her working life as a librarian and a web content editor, while all the time attending various part-time classes, in sculpture, illustration and writing. Alice lives in Hertfordshire, UK with her husband and two children. When she's not visiting schools, she works in a writing shed at the top of her garden, where she can immerse herself in the world of her stories. Elin is a Welsh-born artist now based in Cornwall after having graduated from Falmouth University in 2020. Her work is inspired by the natural world, ecology, folklore and anthropology, with a passion for storytelling and the honouring and protection of our natural world being a constant drive within her work and creative process. Through weaving stories of the land, her work seeks to deepen our connection to the landscapes that shape and inform us, in the hope of inspiring others to celebrate and protect them.
