The Moon shines bright in the sky at night,
A blanket of stars overhead,
They glow and shimmer, sparkle and glimmer,
As we get ready for bed.

This beautifully illustrated picture book from the award-winning artist Emma Carlisle invites young readers to explore the natural world at night, revealing the secret life of nocturnal animals.

With gentle, lyrical text, the story takes children on a journey through a darkened wood, where a fox's tail flickers and the white wings of a barn owl glide silently through the air. Above, the moon and stars illuminate the sky, and the world awakens in a quiet, magical rhythm while we sleep soundly in our beds.

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.
