Teach little ones about overcoming fears and appreciating the beauty in all things-even the dark-with this poignant picture book about finding wonder in the nighttime. Everyone was afraid of the Dark and pushed it away, wishing the Dark would leave. So one day, the Dark left and did not return. The Dark was done. At first, nobody misses the Dark. But a young boy starts to miss creatures of the night: crickets singing and owls hooting and bats flying. He decides to go look for the Dark. One by one, others who miss the Dark and all its creatures and mysteries and magic join in. Can they find a way to bring back the Dark?

" -- Kirkus Reviews * 08/01/2022 * "Stringer' s watercolor illustrations beautifully capture a world bathed in both stark light and soft darkness, and her lyrical text, with a storyteller' s cadence, calls out for repeated readings. " -- Horn Book Magazine * 11/1/2022 *
