A celebration of the dark and all the ways it can heal, comfort, console, and create. How do you feel about the dark? Is it creepy or cozy? Eerie or awesome? The dark doesn't have to be scary. After all, it's for sleeping, for growing, for healing, and for changing into something new. Humans depend on the dark for their health and well-being, and so do other living things. A love letter to darkness, this informational picture book incorporates STEM content to gently encourage readers to look at the dark in new ways. Lyrical, poetic text and soft, striking illustrations make for a delightful read aloud. AGES: 5 to 8 AUTHOR: Laura Alary grew up in Halifax.

The author of many picture books, including All the Faces of Me and Sun in My Tummy, Laura now lives in Toronto with her three young adult children (who also love the dark). Risa Hugo has a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Illustration from Emily Carr University of Art and Design. She has previously illustrated Leopold's Leotard, Why Are You So Quiet?, and Métis Like Me.
