A Night-Time Tale (Picture books from around the World seri)
by Alexandra Junge
WingedChariot Press

$16.95
20% off: $13.56

“This lovely picture book is for every child, perhaps fearful of the dark, who ever asked ‘Why does it have to be night?’ What follows the initial question is a whimsical world where it is always daytime: a world of confounded stargazers, confused hens, and a very weary sun. Eventually our young heroine decides that a world with night is just fine, because the moon delivers such wonderful dreams.” – Kari P., Harvard Book Store

HarperCollins

Inspired by a memory of sitting in a box on her driveway with her sister, Antoinette Portis captures the thrill when pretend feels so real that it actually becomes real—when the imagination takes over and inside a cardboard box, a child is transported to a world where anything is possible.
