A bedtime picture book from award-winning artist Emma Carlisle, creator of the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize-shortlisted What Do You See When You Look at a Tree?

Step into the magic of the night in this beautifully illustrated story and discover how the world awakens whilst we sleep. Young readers are gently guided through a woodland alive with hidden life – from the flicker of a fox’s tail to the silent sweep of a barn owl’s wings beneath a sky glowing with the Moon and stars. Lyrical, soothing text creates a calm, enchanting bedtime journey into the secret lives of nocturnal animals.

Perfect for bedtime, the book offers a soothing and accessible introduction to nighttime, especially for children who may be afraid of the dark. Through themes of mindfulness, it gently addresses the fear of the unknown and the future, showing how each night brings new life and wonder. This makes it an ideal read for young nature lovers and a comforting tool for those navigating the mysteries of darkness.
